Abstract

The effects of lysine vasopressin (1–100 ng/ml) on the 24 h incorporation of [ 35SO 4 −] into proteoglycans synthesized by fetal rat chondrocytes in monolayer culture has been investigated. The hormone enhances sulfate incorporation into proteoglycans released in the medium and those associated with the cell layer. This enhancement was independent of cell density or stimulation of cell division by the hormone or calf serum. These observations provide evidence that the hormone stimulation of sulfate incorporation is not directly linked to hormone stimulation of cell division.
