## Abstract Mechanical loading of articular cartilage can influence chondrocyte metabolism and lead to alterations in cartilage matrix composition. Most previous studies have focused on the effect of cyclic loading on cartilage mechanical properties and proteoglycan synthesis. However, the role of
## Abstract This study was designed to determine the effects of various loading conditions (no load and static and cyclic tensile load) on the water content and pattern of nutrient diffusion of canine flexor tendons __in vitro__. Region D (designated by Okuda et al.) of the flexor digitorum profund
## Abstract Intermittent compressive (IC) forces (96 mm Hg, 0.3 Hz) inhibit by 35β60% the serum stimulated increase in ornithine decarboxylase activity (ODC) in chick embryo epiphyseal cartilage cells and rat chondrosarcoma cells. IC had no effect on mouse fibroblast Lβcells ODC. The doseβresponse
