Hyaluronate in articular cartilage: age-related changes.
Articular cartilage of fetal calves, calves, and steers together with normal and osteoarthrotic human cartilage was analyzed for hyaluronate. The hyaluronate content increased with maturation in healthy tissue, particularly in regions of maximum contact, but was low in diseased cartilage.
