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...
