Fig. 4From: Human osteoblasts exhibit sexual dimorphism in their response to estrogen on microstructured titanium surfacesTreatment over control for male and female cells cultured on microstructured Ti surfaces and treated with 1α,25(OH)2D3 for 24 h at confluence on TCPS. Cell number (a), and alkaline phosphatase specific activity in cell lysates was assessed (b). Production of osteocalcin (c), osteoprotegerin (d), and active (e) and latent TGF-β1 (f) after 24-h fresh medium incubation. *p < 0.05, vs. untreated control per surfaces; •p < 0.05, vs. PT; #p < 0.05, vs. female cellsBack to article page
