Pathogenetic features of experimental osteoarthrosis induced by dexamethasone and talc by E. V. Gladkova

“…Besides, a rise in the serum levels of hyaluronan (p &lt; 0.001) to 110.2 ng / ml, type I collagen fragments (p &lt; 0.001) to 217.9 ng / ml, and osteocalcin (p &lt; 0.001) to 231.1 ng / ml was detected.Conclusion. The main pathogenetic features of experimental osteoarthrosis induced by dexamethasone and talc include impaired distribution density, morphological characteristics, and functional activity of chondrocytes, which results in inhibited synthesis of extracellular matrix components in the articular cartilage and activated destruction of proteoglycans containing unsulphated glycosaminoglycans. …”
