The administration of collagen hydrolysate affecte osteoarthritis

Abstract

The knee osteoarthritis (knee OA) model has been reported to be a spontaneous model and a traumatic model. Both models have merits and demerits, and it is important to use a model that suits the experiment. In our laboratory, we report studies in which the administration of collagen hydrolysate affected the OA symptom. It is shown that the effect may be due to collagen-specific peptides that have been transferred to the blood.
