Popis: Osteoarthrosis of the rat knee joint was induced successfully by intra-articular injection of 2% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and running load. In the group receiving two injections of physiological saline with running load, no histological osteoarthrotic knees were developed up to 8 weeks after the injection. In the group receiving two 2% H2O2 injections and running load, advanced osteoarthrosis occurred in all knees 8 weeks after the first injection, and the Mankin's score of osteoarthrotic knees appeared to be higher than the group receiving two 2% H2O2 injections without running load (p less than 0.004, Kruskal-Wallis H test). In the rats receiving a single 2% H2O2 injection with running load and a vitamin E-enriched diet, the inhibitory effect of vitamin E on the development of osteoarthrosis was statistically significant compared to the regular diet group (p less than 0.05, Wilcoxon rank test).
