Objectives: To evaluate digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) synovial fluid cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) concentrations as a molecular marker for intrathecal pathology.
Study Design: Case control study.
Animals: Horses (n=46) with DFTS tenosynovitis; 23 fresh cadaver horses.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different wound types and locations affect the production of COMP and TGF-β1 during the healing process in horses.
- Six Standardbred horses were used to create identical full-thickness skin wounds, with samples taken at various healing stages to measure COMP and TGF-β1 levels.
- Results showed that while COMP levels were higher in intact neck skin compared to the metacarpus, neither the type or site of the wounds influenced COMP or TGF-β1 production, and no correlation was found between the two proteins during healing.
