Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reason for the measurement of aggrecan degradation by the release of glycosaminoglycan needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The carbohydrates are combined with the proteins. Enzyme behaves aggrecan and produces a molecule.Some destruction can observe by the aggrecan.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason for the glycosaminoglycan release to not indicate the aggrecan degradation needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Glycosaminoglycan is also known as mucopolysaccharides which have a series of disaccharides. This series contains amino sugar and uronic sugar. Glycosaminoglycan is also written as GAGs.
(c)
Interpretation:
The purpose of the control needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Enzyme behaves aggrecan and producesa molecule. Some destruction can observe by the aggrecan.
(d)
Interpretation:
The effect of adding IL-2 needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
IL-2 is also known as interleukin which is a signaling molecule of the immune system.
(e)
Interpretation:
The response of aggrecanase inhibitor when IL-2 is added needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
IL-2 is also known as interleukin which is a signaling molecule of the immune system.
(f)
Interpretation:
The reason for aggrecan destruction in the control needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Enzyme behaves aggrecan and produces a molecule. Some destruction can observe by the aggrecan.
