## Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease, associated with articular cartilage degeneration and eventually joint destruction. The phases of the disease have been described in detail, and mechanical factors play an important role in the initiation of OA, but many questions remain a
## Abstract We investigated the effects of exerciseβinduced loading on the collagen network of equine articular cartilage. Collagen fibril architecture at a site (1) subjected to intermittent highβintensity loading was compared with that of an adjacent site (2) sustaining continuous lowβlevel load.
The magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of the weight-bearing ("loaded") and not-weight-bearing ("unloaded") regions in T 2 -weighted images of pig articular cartilage is different. On the hypothesis that this difference may be ascribed, at least in part, to a different collagen fibre organization in
