Glucosamine Sulfate Significantly Reduced
Cartilage Destruction In A Rabbit Model Of Osteoarthritis
| Article
Summary: |
Rabbits
were surgically altered to give them osteoarthritis.
The rabbits were split into two groups, one group
of 6 rabbits who received 120mg a day of glucosamine
sulfate, and the other 6 who received the nontreated
control water. The lesions present on the cartilage
of the rabbits was examined at later times. The
lesions for the rabbits who received the treated
water of glucosamine sulfate had significantly smaller
lesions than the rabbits who drank the control water.
The glucosamine sulfate then is considered an effective
treatment for osteoarthritis in animals. |
