Fig. 6

Agac lysate in combination with compressive strain increased gene expression of receptor of NFk-B ligand (RANKL) and it decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG). Gene expression of RANKL (a), OPG (b) and RANKL/OPG ratio (c) after treatment with Agac lysate and compressive strain; n ≥ 6; AU arbitrary units. Statistics: ordinary ANOVA with Holm-Sidak’s post hoc tests; *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001
