Interplay of the constituents of the articular cartilage synovial fluid combine and its role was examined through the biochemical and rheological studies on bovine joints. The results showed an inverse relationship between the changes in the hyaluronic acid of synovial fluid and the proteoglycans content in articular cartilage together with alterations in the rheological ...
