  1. Data expressed as a mean ± SEM. Units of measure were: Pulse rate (beats per min), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP, mm Hg), respiration rate (breaths per minute). There were no significant differences between baseline and week 8 values with these treatments. As the analysis is on a paired basis before and after completing the protocol the analysis is per protocol, glucosamine n = 41, reparagen n = 38.
