Rabbit articular chondrocytes were cultured for 8 h in the presence of various concentrations (5-500 microM) of [14C] oleic, [14C] linoleic, and [3H] arachidonic acids. The radioactive unsaturated fatty acids were incorporated into triacylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in a concentration

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of particles, derived from metals commonly used in joint prostheses, on chondrocyte proliferation, metabolism, and morphology in vitro. Chondrocyte viability was influenced by the type and concentration of metal particle added. Cobalt was toxic to
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels are markedly increased in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. However, the effects of IL-6 on proliferation and proteoglycan metabolism in articular cartilage are not known. We demonstrated here the effects of human recombinant (hr)
## Abstract This study tested the effects of fluid‐induced shear on high density monolayer cultures of adult articular chondrocytes. Fluid‐induced shear (1.6 Pa) was applied by cone viscometer to normal human and bovine articular chondrocytes for periods of 24, 48, and 72 hours. At 48 and 72 hours,
