Effects of low oxygen concentrations and metabolic inhibitors on proteoglycan and protein synthesis rates in the intervertebral disc.

The intervertebral disc is the largest asvacular structure in the body; consequently, there are steep gradients in O2 concentration, with PO2 falling to as low as 1% O2 in the centre of the disc. We investigated the effect of O2 concentration on the rates of O2 consumption, lactate production, and s...
