A comparative study was undertaken regarding the extractability of glucosaminoglycans and mucoproteins in the tendon tissue of birds highly susceptible to synovitis, viz.broiler breed cocks (BB cocks), and of birds highly resistant to synovitis. viz. White Leghorn hens (WL hens). It was shown that in ;the case of WL hens this extractability decreased in accordance with ageing. In the case of BB cocks such a decrease was not observed. This observation is in support of a working hypothesis which supposes a relatively high degree of interaction between the several components of tendon components of tendon tissue (e.g. collagen and glucosaminoglycans/mucoproteins) in the case of WL hens, and a relatively low degree of this interaction in the case of BB cocks. Moreover the results of this study account for the observation that the tendon tissue of WL hens is more resistant to tensile stress than that of BB cocks, and they indicate that the above interaction is a determinant in the aetiology of synovitis.
针对极易患滑膜炎的禽类（即肉种鸡公鸡（BB公鸡））和对滑膜炎具有高度抗性的禽类（即白来航母鸡（WL母鸡））的肌腱组织中氨基葡聚糖和粘蛋白的可提取性进行了一项比较研究。结果表明，对于WL母鸡而言，这种可提取性会随着年龄增长而降低。而对于BB公鸡，未观察到这种降低情况。这一观察结果支持了一个工作假设，即假设在WL母鸡的情况下，肌腱组织的多种成分（如胶原蛋白和氨基葡聚糖/粘蛋白）之间存在相对较高程度的相互作用，而在BB公鸡的情况下，这种相互作用程度相对较低。此外，本研究结果解释了如下观察结果：WL母鸡的肌腱组织比BB公鸡的肌腱组织更能抵抗拉伸应力，并且表明上述相互作用是滑膜炎病因学中的一个决定因素。
