## Abstract This study investigated the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on proteoglycan (PG) metabolism of human articular cartilage explants from patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Human cartilage explants, recovered from lateral and medial femoral condyles, were classified accord

## In order to evaluate the effects of pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on cell proliferation and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis and to study the action site of PEMF stimulation in the cells, we performed a series of experiments on rabbit costal growth cartilage cells and human articular ca
A cell culture model for studying the cytokine-mediated degradation of connective tissue was exposed to clinically applied, low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), and levels of collagenolytic activity, two lysosomal hydrolases, and prostaglandin E2 were measured. PEMFs reduced the relea
