Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on the improvement of articular cartilage surface architecture at in vitro level. The T3 hormone was applied to neo-tissues in the range of 50, 100, 150 and 200 ng/ml for 5 weeks. At the end of the treatment, biochemical and histological evaluation was carried out in the neo-tissues. T3 hormone application significantly increased the collagen production in neo-cartilage tissues. The properties of tensile and compressive were significantly increased compared to the controls. However, T3 hormone application also induced hypertrophy. At the higher dose concentration of T3 hormone application, tensile and compressive properties were tremendously increased 4.3 and 4.6 fold respectively. Taking all these data together, it suggested that the T3 hormone application could be a potential agent to increase the functional properties such tensile and compressive in neo-tissues.
期刊介绍:
Cessation. The international multidisciplinary journal is devoted to the publication of studies covering the whole range of experimental research on disease processes and toxicology including cell biological investigations. Its aim is to support progress in the interdisciplinary cooperation of researchers working in pathobiology, toxicology, and cell biology independent of the methods applied. During the past decades increasing attention has been paid to the importance of toxic influence in the pathogenesis of human and animal diseases. This is why Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology meets the urgent need for an interdisciplinary journal felt by a wide variety of experts in medicine and biology, including pathologists, toxicologists, biologists, physicians, veterinary surgeons, pharmacists, and pharmacologists working in academic, industrial or clinical institutions.
