## Abstract The recovery of articular cartilage from atrophy induced by joint immobilization was investigated in immature dogs. In a previous study, we showed that 11 weeks of immobilization of the knee (stifle) joint of young dogs reduced the concentration of articular cartilage glycosaminoglycans
The local influences of physical exercise on thickness and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content of canine articular cartilage were measured by microspectrophotometry of Safranin O- and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-stained tissue sections. Female Beagle dogs were housed in individual cages (bottom 0.9 x 1.2
