Efficacy of Intramuscular Chondroitin Sulfate and Compounded Acetyl-d-Glucosamine in a Positive Controlled Study of Equine Carpitis

摘要

The efficacy of injectable chondroitin sulfate and acetyl-d-glucosamine solutions was evaluated by comparing them to intramuscular (IM) polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG) in the Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) carpitis model. PSGAG was significantly (p < 0.05) more effective in the recovery of model-induced deficits in lameness parameters than were chondroitin and glucosamine injectable solutions.
