Changes in gene expression and protein distribution at different stages of mechanically induced disc degeneration—an in vivo study on the New Zealand white rabbit
30 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
The objective of the study was to improve the biological understanding of degenerative disc disease using a rabbit model in which different stages of disc degeneration are induced by variation of the duration of loading with an external compression-device applying 2.4 MPa. Gene expression and protein distribution were analyzed in controls and after 1, 28, and 56 days of hyperphysiologic loading. To evaluate...
