## Abstract The objective of the investigation was to explore the notion that chondrocytes in the growth plate secrete nucleotides and that these compounds are used to regulate cell maturation and matrix mineralization. Chondrocytes were isolated from the cephalic region of chick embryo sterna and
This study tested the effects of hydrostatic pressure (10 MPa) on adult articular chondrocyte mRNA and extracellular matrix synthesis in vitro. High density primary cultures of bovine chondrocytes were exposed to hydrostatic pressure applied intermittently at 1 Hz or constantly for 4 hours in serum-
The effects of extracellular and intracellular pH on matrix synthesis by isolated bovine chondrocytes were studied using radioisotope incorporation ("SO, and 'H proline) and fluorescence techniques. Matrix synthesis exhibited a bimodal relation with decreased extracellular pH; with slight reductions
