Fig. 4: Histological images.
From: Plyometric training increases thickness and volume of knee articular cartilage in mice
Histological images of representative samples from each of the experimental groups are shown in the figure. The three large images show samples from the three groups: CON (a), HLS (b), JUMP (c). The scale bar is 100 microns, and the scale is the same in all three images. In the bottom right panel we show zoomed-in images to better show the cellular structure inside the black rectangles marked in each of the three groups (a1 for CON, b1 for HLS, c1 for JUMP). Examples of clusters of chondrocytes, mostly present in the HLS group, are marked with yellow circles in panel b1. The size of the zoomed-in images is 0.25 mm × 0.15 mm.
