Le déroulement d’une inflammation est dépendant du type d’agent, du taux de gravité et de l'ampleur du dommage subi. On fait une distinction entre une inflammation aiguë et chronique. Une inflammation aiguë apparaît en quelques heures, au maximum dans les 2 jours. Dans la plupart des cas l'inflammation est assez intense mais de courte durée. Une inflammation chronique débute bien plus lentement, suit un déroulement moins intense mais reste continuellement présente. 1, record 1, French, - inflammation%20aigu%C3%AB

Il existe deux isoformes de chondroïtine sulfate : la forme 4-sulfate et la forme 6-sulfate. Dans les cartilages de sujets jeunes, la forme 4-sulfate prédomine sur la forme 6-sulfate, alors que c'est l'inverse dans les cartilages de sujets âgés. Plus le taux de chondroïtine-4-sulfate est bas et celui de 6-sulfate est élevé au sein du cartilage articulaire, plus le métabolisme des protéoglycanes décline. Le ratio chondroïtine-6-sulfate sur chondroïtine-4-sulfate serait donc le reflet du degré de gravité de l'arthrose. [...] Des deux formes de chondroïtine sulfate, le chondroïtine-4-sulfate favorise surtout la synthèse de glucosamine par les chondrocytes, tandis que le chondroïtine-6-sulfate inhibe surtout l'activité de l'élastase. 4, record 5, French, - chondro%C3%AFtine%206%2Dsulfate
