Regulation of proteoglycan synthesis rate in cartilage in vitro: influence of extracellular ionic composition.

Load-bearing cartilages regularly experience changes in fluid content as the result of changing load. It has been found that these changes in fluid content influence proteoglycan synthesis. The mechanism for this effect is not known. We have measured the influence of changes in cartilage hydration o...
