Description

Total glycosaminoglycans sulphate (GAGs) and keratan sulphate (KS) were measured in synovial fluid (SF) obtained from 28 horses with different joint diseases (degenerative joint disease (DJD), osteochondrosis (OCD), positivity to Flex Test (FT)) and 15 horses without any clinical sign of lameness. All groups of animals with joint disease showed levels of total GAGs significantly higher (P0.001) than normal. On the contrary, only DJD affected joints showed a significantly (P0.01) higher level of KS

Abstract (Italian)

I glicosaminoglicani (GAGs) totali e il cheratansolfato (KS) sono stati dosati nel liquido sinoviale (SF) ottenuto da 28 cavalli con diverse artropatie (artropatia degenerativa (DJD), lesioni osteocondritiche (OCD), positivita' al test di flessione (FT)) e da 15 cavalli sani. Tutti i gruppi di animali con artropatie mostravano livelli di GAGs totali significativamente piu' elevati (P0.001) del normale. Al contrario, solo le articolazioni affette da DJD mostravano livelli significativamente piu' elevati (P0.01) di KS
