Effects of hyaluronic acid and γ-globulin concentrations on the frictional response of human osteoarthritic articular cartilage.

Effects of hyaluronic acid and γ-globulin concentrations on the frictional response of human osteoarthritic articular cartilage.

Synovial fluid plays an important role in lubricating synovial joints. Its main constituents are hyaluronic acid (HA) and γ-globulin, acting as boundary lubricants for articular cartilage. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the concentration-dependent effect of HA and γ-globulin on the boundary...
