Objective To explore the role and possible mechanism of lysyl oxidase (LOX) in age-related degeneration of intervertebral disc. Methods Six SD rats, aged of 2, 8 and 20 months respectively, were subjected, and then underwent intervertebral disc MRI and X-

Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of thoracolumbar intervertenral disk extrusions and protrusions in large breed dogs [PDF]
It has recently been shown that the fat-derived hormone adiponectin has the ability to decrease hyperglycemia and to reverse insulin resistance. However, bacterially produced full-length adiponectin is functionally inactive. Here, we show that endogenous

Protective role of the alpha-1-antitrypsin in intervertebral disc degeneration
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration is a complex disease with high prevalence. It suggests that cell death, senescence, and extracellular matrix degradation are involved in the pathogenesis. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a serine protease inhibitor,

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc.
The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body.

Physical disruption of intervertebral disc promotes cell clustering and a degenerative phenotype [PDF]
© 2019, The Author(s). To test the hypothesis that physical disruption of an intervertebral disc disturbs cell-matrix binding, leading to cell clustering and increased expression of matrix degrading enzymes that contribute towards degenerative disc cell ...

Nutrition of the Intervertebral Disc
A review of the literature on disc nutrition.To summarize the information on disc nutrition in relation to disc degeneration.The disc is avascular, and the disc cells depend on diffusion from blood vessels at the disc's margins to supply the nutrients essential for cellular activity and viability and to remove metabolic wastes such as lactic acid.
