Pooi-See Chan, PhD; John P. Caron, DVM; Michael W. Orth, PhD

Am J Vet Res 2007;68:709–715

Objective - To determine effects of glucosamine (GLN) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) on expression of genes encoding putative mediators of osteoarthritis in bovine cartilage explants cultured for 2 weeks.

Sample Population - Articular cartilage explants harvested from carpal joints of 4 Holstein steers after slaughter..
