Strenuous running exacerbates knee cartilage erosion induced by low amount of mono-iodoacetate in rats

Abstract: BackgroundIt is still debated whether strenuous running in the inflammatory phase produces beneficial or harmful effect in rat knees. We examined (1) the dropout rate of rats during a 30-km running protocol, (2) influences of strenuous running and/or low amounts of mono-iodoacetate injection on cartilage, and (3) the effect of strenuous running on synovitis.MethodsRats were forced to run 30 km over 6 weeks and the dropout rate was examined. One week after 0.1 mg mono-iodoacetate was injected into the right kne… Show more

“…We suggest that weight changes did not affect our experiments. According to the literature (Saito et al, 2017), we knew that not all rats could complete the exercise program due to intolerant intensity, especially in the OAH group. We found that all rats in the OAL group were able to complete the program; drop-out began at 3 week, and 80% of rats completed the program in the OAM group.…”

“…During the experimental period, rats that failed to run despite application of combined stimulation were defined as drop-outs and excluded from the experimental groups. Meanwhile, observation was required to ensure smooth execution of experiments, and the rats’ completion rate was calculated every week (Saito et al, 2017) (Figure 1C). Rats were sacrificed at the end of the experimental period.…”

“…Regarding the metabolism of the articular cartilage, the balance and relationship between unloading, loading, and exercise have been still unclear, and some animal studies have demonstrated the influence of mechanical stress on OA progression using MIA injection, including treadmill running. However, the results were inconclusive 39,40 . To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to assess the influence of joint unloading on articular cartilage degeneration using rat model of OA in the PF and TF joints.…”
