A type II-collagen derived peptide and its nitrated form as new markers of inflammation and cartilage degradation in equine osteochondral lesions
Abstract
Markers of cartilage breakdown enable studying the degradation of cartilage matrix in equine joint pathologies. This study was designed to determine the levels of Coll2-1, a peptide of the triple helix of type II collagen, and Coll2-1NO2, its nitrated form in the plasma of healthy horses (controls; n = 37) and horses suffering from osteochondrosis (n = 34). Clinical and arthroscopic scores were attributed reflecting the severity of lesions and...
