Article Synopsis
- Osteoarthritis is a major issue for athletic horses, causing pain and leading to early retirement, with hydro-expansive functionalized nanogels being explored as a potential treatment through a double-blinded randomized tolerance study.
- Eight healthy horses received injections of chitosan and hyaluronic acid nanogels and saline as controls, monitored for clinical signs and synovial fluid changes over three months.
- The study found mild synovitis in the treated group following injections, which resolved quickly, and while inflammation markers showed a temporary rise, there were no long-term adverse effects, indicating the treatment could be safe.
