title: [Changes in the cartilage of the rat knee joint caused by running stress--a contribution to arthrosis research].
abstract: After running strain of Wistar-rats it is provable a small nonsignificant increase of the mean chondrocyte number per tissue area in the weight bearing cartilage of the medial femur condylus. Little foci of fibrillation and superficial localisated areas with loss of metachromasia are also visible in the cartilage. This tissue alterations appearing typical for a early phase of osteoarthrosis.
