Quinolone-induced arthropathy: exposure of magnesium-deficient aged rats or immature rats, mineral concentrations in target tissues and pharmacokinetics
Quinolone treatment or magnesium deficiency induce identical cartilage lesions in juvenile rats and show additive arthropathogenic effects. It has been shown previously that neither condition is arthropathoge...

Integrins on joint cartilage chondrocytes and alterations by ofloxacin or magnesium deficiency in immature rats
Recently, we showed that magnesium deficiency induces lesions in knee joint cartilage from 5-week-old rats that are very similar to ofloxacin-induced cartilage defects. We concluded that quinolone-induced art...
