The effect of mechanical stress on cartilage energy metabolism.
Cartilage is routinely subjected to varying mechanical stresses which are known to affect matrix turnover by a variety of pathways. Here we show that mechanical loads which suppress sulphate incorporation or protein synthesis by articular chondrocytes, also inhibit rates of oxygen uptake and of lact...
