Other than its known effects on the cardiovascular system, angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulates cell growth in several cell types. In this study, we examined whether it also might affect bone cell metabolism. Ang II stimulated DNA and collagen synthesis and decreased alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity
Peptidoglycan-polysaccharide fragments derived from cell walls of bacteria such as group A, but not group D, streptococci are arthritogenic in certain laboratory animals. For instance, systemic administration of these fragments into rats may induce a chronic polyarthritis which clinically, histologi
