A highly sensitive assay for hyaluronidase (HAase) activity was examined in this study. Canine urine HAase (canine u-HAase) can be used as a therapeutic agent for canine intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH). The sensitivity of fluorescinamin-labeled hyaluronan (FAHA) was 30 times higher than the...

Hasen type I intervertebral disc disease (DDIV) occurs due to the extrusion of material from the pulpal nucleus into the vertebral canal. The matrix of the nucleus degenerates, dehydrates and mineralizes, associating chondroid degeneration of the intervertebral disc. Although the etiology of this...
