Действие препарата структум (хондроитин сульфат) на биоэнергитические характеристики синовиальной жидкости при остеоартрозе

Clinical and laboratory study was carried out including 30 pts with definite diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA ) of knee joint. The effect of chondroitin sulfate (Structum) on basic bio-energetic indices of synovial fluid was studied. The obtained results testify to the fact that the expressed local hypoxia of cartilage tissue favoring the development, conserving and chronization of inflammatory process in synovial environment of knee joint in О A is successfully arrested by the above drug. Simultaneously bio-energetic parameters of synovial fluid were normalized: the level of oxygen absorption by synovial cells, the activity of a number of enzymes of hydrogen-phosphor (energetic) metabolism as well as of glucuronidaze and gialuronidaze,
