(A) Treatment schedule for the rats. (B) Body weight during the treadmill exercise. All rats received a standard diet, and body weights were measured weekly. No significant difference was detected between the control and OA group during exercise. Differences between control and OAE, OA and OAE groups in weeks 4 and 5 were significant. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 vs. control group; +P<0.05 and +++P<0.001 vs. OAE group. Results are expressed as the mean and 95% confidence interval (one-way analysis of variance; n=10 rats/group). MIA, monosodium iodoacetate; OA, osteoarthritis; OAE, OA with treadmill exercise.
