It can be postulated that among the factors implicated in cartilaginous lesions, oxygen-derived free radicals seem to have a prominent part. To investigate this hypothesis, rabbit articular chondrocyte cultures have been exposed to oxygenderived reactive species generated by the hypoxanthine-xanthin
The effects of IL-1 p and TGF-P on the biosynthesis of extracellular matrix structural components relative to the metalloproteinases and their inhibitor TlMPl in human articular chondrocytes were investigated. It has been proposed that TGFp, acting as a positive regulator of matrix accretion, can co
