Effects of Glycation on Mechanical Properties of Articular Cartilage.

©2018 Turkish League Against Rheumatism. All rights reserved. Diabetes alters connective tissues and the changes are at least in part due to an increase in glycation.1 Although there are relatively a great number of research related to the effects of glycation on biochemical changes in articular cartilage, effects of glycation on mechanical properties of articular cartilage are largely unknown. In this study, we focused on the effects of glycation on the biomechanical properties of cartilage, eliminating all other complicated changes.
