## Abstract Control of chondrocyte pH (pH~i~) determines articular cartilage matrix metabolism. However, the transporters of chondrocytes __in situ__ throughout cartilage zones are unclear, and we tested the hypothesis that chondocytes within the superficial zone (SZ) utilise a HCOβdependent system

## Abstract To gain more information on the mechanism of lubrication in articular joints, the superficial layer of bovine articular cartilage was mechanically removed in a sheet of ice that formed on freezing the cartilage. Freezeβdried samples contained low concentrations of chondroitin sulphate a
In a previous paper it was shown that the respiratory power of the cartilage cell declines with advancing age while the glycolytic power does not change (Rosentlial, Bowie and Wagoner, '41). I n the present communication data are presented concerning the structure of the respiratory system in articu
## Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of mechanical fatigue in the form of cyclic shear strain on articular cartilage. Three millimeter diameter fullβthickness plugs were cored from the lateral aspect of bovine tibial plateaus. Sinusoidal shear strains of Β±5, Β±10, a
