pubmed:abstractText |
The basic pathophysiology of intervertebral disc degeneration and low back pain remains unclear. It has been hypo-thesized a role of biochemical mediators of inflammation and tissue degradation in intervertebral disc degeneration and herniation. Chitinase 3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) is a glycoprotein mainly secreted by chondrocytes which has been proposed as a possible marker of inflammation and/or cartilage alterations.
