Serum N-propeptide of collagen IIA (PIIANP) as a marker of radiographic osteoarthritis burden.

Serum N-propeptide of collagen IIA (PIIANP) as a marker of radiographic osteoarthritis burden.

OBJECTIVE:Cartilage homeostasis relies on a balance of catabolism and anabolism of cartilage matrix. Our goal was to evaluate the burden of radiographic osteoarthritis and serum levels of type IIA procollagen amino terminal propeptide (sPIIANP), a biomarker representing type II collagen synthesis, i...
