| pubmed-article:7639804 | pubmed:abstractText | In recent studies, the synovial fluid concentration of molecules derived from the extracellular matrix of articular cartilage has been used to deduce the magnitude of cartilage destruction or repair in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Because low-grade synovitis is often present in such joints, we assessed the effect of synovial inflammation on the clearance of a prototypical protein, albumin, from synovial fluid. | lld:pubmed |
