## Abstract A series of __in vitro__ experiments demonstrated a clear effect of additive hyaluronic acid (HA) on animal joints with experimentally reduced lubricating ability. Eleven canine hip joints were utilized and the experimental conditions tested were: (i) intact joints, (ii) after washing t

## Abstract ## Objective To examine in vivo the effects of a mixture of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) plus phospholipids on joint lubrication and articular cartilage degeneration. ## Methods Experimental osteoarthritis (OA) of the right knee was induced by anterior cruciate and medi
## Abstract Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a component of the extracellular matrix of cartilage and has various effects on threeβdimensional cultured chondrocytes. We measured Pyridinoline (Pyr), which is a crosslink of collagen in cultured chondrocyteβcollagen composites treated with HA of different mole
