Abstract:INTRODUCTION:Emerging evidence indicates that nitric oxide (NO), which is increased in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage, plays a role in 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) generation through peroxynitrite formation. HNE is considered as the most reactive product of lipid peroxidation (LPO). We have previously reported that HNE levels in synovial fluids are more elevated in knees of OA patients compared to healthy individuals. We also demonstrated that HNE induces a panoply of inflammatory and catabolic mediators known for th… Show more
