We have recently described a 550,000-dalton nomollagenous cartilage matrix glycoprotein (CMGP), with subunits of 130,000, which is present in hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. Biosynthetic studies indicated that CMGP was synthesized by short-term organ cultures of normal canine articular cartila

Proteases have been postulated to account for the progressive disappearance of matrix proteoglycans in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage. The digestion of endogenous proteoglycans by neutral proteases in human OA cartilage homogenates has been measured and compared with that of normal age-matched contro
## Abstract The study was designed to determine the contents and distributions of the proteoglycans decorin and biglycan in adult human femoral condylar cartilage and whether these may change in osteoarthritis. New radioimmunoassays were established using peptides representing the aminoβterminal 21
## Abstract Naproxen is a nonsteroidal antiβinflammatory drug commonly used in the clinical treatment of joint disease. In this study, its effect in vivo on the biochemical composition, metabolic activities, and metalloproteinase activities of normal canine articular cartilage was analyzed. The art
