2. Fig. 1
Analyzed locations in the lapine knee joints. Articular cartilage samples in the lateral and medial femoral condyles (A), tibial plateaus (B) and femoral groove (C) were biomechanically tested and used for determinations of tissue structure and composition. Indentation locations are marked with black dots, while the directions of slices prepared for microscopy and spectroscopy are marked with solid lines. Spaces between lines are not to scale.

3. Fig. 2
Microscopic images of safranin O stained sections (left), collagen orientation maps (center) and amide I absorption maps (right) used to analyze PG content, collagen orientation angle and collagen content, respectively, using digital densitometry (DD), polarized light microscopy (PLM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Representative examples from ACLT, C-L and CNTRL groups have been presented.

4. Fig. 3
Mean values (and 95% CI) of PG content profiles in different groups and sites measured with digital densitometry. Dashed line in the top shows spatially significant differences between two groups of those colors (P < 0.05).
