COMPOSITION AND METHODS FOR REGULATING CHONDROCYTE PROLIFERATION AND INCREASING OF CARTILAGE MATRIX PRODUCTION

摘要

A pharmaceutical compositions includes GLP-1 and GLP-1 analogues inducing an anabolic stimulation of chondrocytes and a decreasing in chondrocyte catabolic including a decrease in cartilage matrix loss and cartilage degeneration for use in the treatment of cartilage disease. The composition induces cartilage regeneration and anabolic stimulation of chondrocytes, including chondrocyte proliferation and/or stem cell differentiation into chondrocytes.
