Figure 3From: Effects of corticosterone on the metabolic activity of cultured chicken chondrocytes Effects of CORT on PTHrP and Col X mRNAs expression in cultured Chondrocytes (A-B). The cells were incubated with various doses of CORT for 48 h. The relative expression of PTHrP and Col X genes was analysed by real-time PCR. Gene expression was normalized using GAPDH as an internal control. Values were mean ± SEM from at least three separate experiments, each performed in triplicates. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus control (0 M CORT).Back to article page
