We have correlated early material and biochemical changes in articular cartilage in a surgical model for cartilage degeneration. Metlial meniscectomy was performed on the left knee of 17 adult, female New Zealand white rabbits. The equilibrium Young's modulus of cartilage was assessed by an indentat

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of one intraβarticular injection of hyaluronan on chondrocyte death and metabolism in injured cartilage. Twentyβthree 6βmonthβold rabbits received partialβthickness articular cartilage defects created on each medial femoral condyle.
The phenomenon of "growing old" is the summation of the degenerative changes which occur in all tissues. Some tissues undergo demonstrable degeneration at earlier ages than others. The degenerative changes are grossly apparent in some tissues and afford a definite index of the structural age of the
A "marginally deficient" essential fatty acid state was produced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by dietary supplementation with 03 fatty acids. Animals fed diets containing the highest amounts of these fatty acids (10% menhaden fish oil) demonstrated a 70% maximum decrease in the linoleic and arachidon
## Abstract The effect of sulfate concentration in the medium on glycosaminoglycan synthesis in articular cartilage of five different species was examined in relation to the physiological serum sulfate concentration in these species. Only the rate of sulfated glycosaminoglycan synthesis in human ar
