  1. Boldfaced values p < 0.05
  2. *p < 0.05 and change > 2-fold
  3. mRNA levels under the treatment with glucosamine in different experimental conditions are presented relative to the untreated control group calculated by the equation E-ΔCt (Mean ± SD, n = 9; value of 1 represents average level of mRNA expression in untreated control group). [c]1, low concentration of glucosamine (50 μM); [c]2, high concentration of glucosamine (5 mM).
