does anyone know any (or if this is a viable way)
to increase hyaline cartilage by using collagenase inhibitors? (to increase the type II collagen, found in joint hyaline cartilage)
im wondering if i can do this as i got the idea from people finding collagenase inhibitors to increase skin collagen, but i need help finding any that people know of, or if this would work.
does anyone know of any collagenase inhibitors, and would any collagenase inhibitor work as does it matter if im trying to increase type II collagen?
"Type-II collagen is the basis for articular cartilage and hyaline cartilage.
It makes up 50% of all protein in cartilage and 85-90% of collagen of articular cartilage.
Type II collagen does form fibers. This fibrillar network of collagen allows cartilage to entrap the proteoglycan aggregate as well as provide tensile strength to the tissue."
any recommendation, help, or info would be highly appreciated! please, Thank you
