## Abstract ## Objective To determine the effects of varying O~2~ on pH homeostasis, based on the hypothesis that the function of articular chondrocytes is best understood at realistic O~2~ tensions. ## Methods Cartilage from equine metacarpophalangeal/tarsophalangeal joints was digested with co

## Abstract ## Objective To determine the effects of hypoxia and reoxygenation on the metabolism of chondrocytes and their response to interleukinβ1Ξ² (ILβ1Ξ²). The study included activation of hypoxiaβinducible factor 1 (HIFβ1), NFβΞΊB, and activator protein 1 (APβ1) transcription factors, expressio
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of particles, derived from metals commonly used in joint prostheses, on chondrocyte proliferation, metabolism, and morphology in vitro. Chondrocyte viability was influenced by the type and concentration of metal particle added. Cobalt was toxic to
Chondrocytes experience a dynamic extracellular osmotic environment during normal joint loading when fluid is forced from the matrix, increasing the local proteoglycan concentration and therefore the ionic strength and osmolarity. To exist in such a challenging environment, chondrocytes must possess
