Synovial fluid levels of aggrecan turnover markers in inflamed joints. Synovial fluid concentrations of (a) glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and (b) chondroitin sulfate epitope 846 (CS846) over time in inflamed intercarpal joints of horses (n = 6). Inflammation was induced at t = 0 by intra-articular injection of 0.5 ng Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide. Data presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
