Fig. 2From: Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo investigations of the therapeutic potential of Jeju lava seawater salt in osteoarthritisThe effect of salts on the expression of anabolic and catabolic factors in chondrocytes. Chondrocytes were treated with 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5% of Jeju lava seawater (JLS) salt , Korean sea salt (KS), and deep ocean seawater salt (DS) for 24 h.
