Abstract excerpt
Collagen synthesis by osteoarthritic cartilage from dogs that had undergone anterior cruciate ligament transection was measured in short-term organ cultures and chondrocyte suspension cultures. Slices of osteoarthritic cartilage from unstable knees 2, 6 or 12 weeks after anterior cruciate ligament transection converted approximately 10% of the total incorporated 14C-proline to 14C-hydroxyproline, while the value...
