Abstract
Although, hyaluronic acid (HA) is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis for 30 years, the mechanism of its protective action on collagen metabolism disturbances in tissues during inflammation is not known. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the mechanism of IL-1β action (inductor of experimental inflammation) on deregulation of collagen biosynthesis in cultured human chondrocytes and the effect of HA on the process. It has...
