Abstract
A novel and very useful technique was developed to assay a lysosomal enzyme released into the joint synovial fluid during zymosan-induced arthritis in mice. This beta-glucuronidase activity correlated with histomorphological changes observed in the joint: vasculitis, synovitis and pannus formation. The antiarthritic drug triamcinolone acetonide improved both biochemical and histological parameters.Entities:
