lower th an in a young nucleus.

(1) Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs):
(a) Collagenase, gelatinase, strom elysin.
(2) Proin am matory cytokines and free radicals increase in degenerative
disks.

increased in degenerated disks.
(b) Ph osph olipase A2, tum or necrosis factor alph a (TNF-a), and IL-1
are increased in herniated disks and radiculopathy.
b. Cytokine blockers such as IL-1, TNF blockers, and tissue inhibitors of
metalloproteinase can upregulate PG synthesis by blocking catabolic
processes.
