## Abstract In vitro proteoglycan (PG) depletion in the 20–40% range (enzymatic PG depletion of normal cartilage in the early osteoarthritis (OA) PG depletion range) was investigated in articular cartilage using 2D time domain NMR relaxation techniques. Spin–lattice relaxation times were measured a

## Abstract The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of __T__~1ρ~‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantitatively measure changes in proteoglycan content in cartilage. The __T__~1ρ~ MRI technique was implemented in an in vivo porcine animal model with rapidly induced c
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that fibronectin in cartilage of osteoarthritic joints accumulates in increased quantities in response to a reduction in proteoglycan content in the matrix. We determined fibronectin content in an ELISA system, uptake of plasma '251-fibronectin from t
