Cyasterone has a protective effect on steroid-induced Osteonecrosis of the femoral head
Fig 2
The apoptosis rate of BMSCs in each group.
The apoptosis rate of DXM group and DXM+Cyasterone group was higher than that of the Control group, while the apoptosis rate of DXM+Cyasterone group was lower than that of the DXM group. It was showed that Cyasterone reduced the DXM-induced apoptosis compared with DXM group. (*P<0.05, vs Control, #P<0.05, DXM+Cyasterone vs DXM, n = 3).
