Optical densitometry of zymographic bands of MMP-2 in arbitrary units in the patellar tendon. The data are mean ± standard deviation. (A) Pro MMP-2 (72 kDa), (B) intermediate MMP-2 (64 kDa), (C) active MMP-2 (64 kDa). The experimental groups were represented control (C, n = 6), exercise (E, n = 6), sham without exercise (S, n = 6), sham with exercise (SE, n = 6), osteoarthritis without exercise (OA, n = 6), and osteoarthritis with exercise (OAE, n = 6). Statistically significant differences compared to: aC; bE, dSE, p < 0.05.
