Glucosamine represents one of the most commonly used drugs to treat osteoarthritis.
However, mechanisms of its antiarthritic activities are still poorly understood. The present …

We recently reported that glucosamine reversed the decrease in proteoglycan synthesis and
in UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase I mRNA expression induced by interleukin‐1β (IL …

Objective: Glucosamine sulfate (GS) is a commonly used drug for the treatment of
