Popis: sis (OA) in hamster articular cartilage during growth and development and how voluntary running exercise affects cartilage properties. Methods: Syrian Golden Hamsters were divided into five groups: 1-, 3and 6-month-old control groups and 3and 6-month-old runner groups. The runners had access to running wheels. The collagen network of medial tibial condyle articular cartilage was studied with quantitative polarized light microscopy. The glycosaminoglycan content was assessed from safranin-O stained sections using digital densitometry. Prevalence of OA was recorded from medial tibial condyle. Results: Runner animals were heavier than the controls (21% at 3 months and 13% at 6 months, p
