## Abstract ## Objective Chondrocyte apoptosis has been described in both human and experimentally induced osteoarthritis (OA), but its importance in the etiopathogenesis of OA is uncertain. The aims of this study were to determine the rate of chondrocyte apoptosis using different methods, and to

## Abstract We investigated whether __N__βacetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor of glutathione, could protect rabbit articular chondrocytes against nitric oxide (NO)βinduced apoptosis and could prevent cartilage destruction in an experimental model of osteoarthritis (OA) in rats. Isolated chondrocytes
## Abstract Hydrostatic pressure (HP) is thought to increase within cartilage extracellular matrix as a consequence of fluid flow inhibition. The biosynthetic response of human articular chondrocytes to HP in vitro varies with the load magnitude, load frequency, as well as duration of loading. We f
