Articular cartilage and synovial membrane tissue specimens were prepared for routine histologic examination. The stable end products of NO, total nitrite and nitrate (NOt) activity, were measured in body fluids and compared with macroscopic and histologic degrees of OA. Urinary NOt concentration was compared with urinary creatinine concentration and stated as urinary NOt:creatinine ratio (UNCR).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2014<\/jats:bold>SF NOt concentrations were not significantly different between the 2 groups.
