  2. bBone and cartilage biomarkers include osteocalcin, bone specific alkaline phosphatase, P1CP-C-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen, P1NP N-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen, cartilage-derived retinoic acid-sensitive protein, and c-terminal telopeptide. The angiogenesis biomarker was urinary basic fibroblast growth factor. The inflammation biomarkers included erythrocyte sedimentation rate, c-reactive protein, interleukin-6, interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, creatinine phosphokinase, and lactate dehydrogenase
