Chondro Protection: A Review

Sreeremya Sasi

Abstract


Osteoarthritis is a disease which affects about 1.8% of the population in developed countries and its incidence is rising continuously in parallel with the increase in average life expectancy. The chondrocytes are provided with a complete set of enzymes, both synthetic and degradative; they are thus responsible for both the synthesis and degradation of proteoglycans and collagen although they are not able to confirm its metabolism in adults. The paper deals with the recent researches about the chondro protective effect assisted by nutrition, how chondro protection helps in osteoarthritis.
