To assess the effect of intracellular growth plate chondrocyte enzymes on proteoglycan structure, we examined enzyme-treated articular cartilage proteoglycans and untreated articular cartilage proteoglycans with the electron microscopic monolayer technique. The untreated proteoglycan monomers ranged
## Abstract Tetracyclines were reported to slow down the progression of cartilage damage both in an animal model of osteoarthritis (OA) and in humans. In search for the underlying mechanisms we examined whether tetracyclines possess an inhibitory potential on the activity of aggrecanases and inflam
