Title of article - Synovial Fluid α-MSH Levels are Inversely Correlated with Articular Cartilage Degeneration in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knees.
Abstract
Secondary osteoarthritis after ligament or meniscus injury generally causes great burdens to patients. Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH ), a 13 amino acid neuropeptide produced by intracellular cleavage of the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) hormone, has been proven to suppress inflammation and protect cartilage from damage. The present study was carried out to explore the relationship between synovial fluid α-MSH levels and articular cartilage degeneration in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency.
