Comparison of sequences of chondrocyte and extracellular matrix degeneration in cartilage tissue. a, b Comparisons of safranin O staining patterns of knee tibial plateau cartilage tissue and OARSI scores, IHC results of the Aggrecan,CollagenX,MMP-13 and Caspase-3 proteins and IHC scores. Comparison of serum concentration of CTX-II. Scale = 100 μm. Statistical significance is shown for One-way ANOVA. Bars represent the mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05 compared with the 8-month-old group and #p < 0.05 compared with the 10-month-old group
