Experimental Model of Zymosan-Induced Arthritis in the Rat Temporomandibular Joint: Role of Nitric Oxide and Neutrophils
Figure 6
Nitrite levels in synovial exudates of zymosan-induced TMJ arthritis. Zymosan was injected i.art. and the NO release in exudates (as /) was measured 6 h after zymosan. Sham animals received only saline i.art. Injection of saline into the joints did not increase NO release throughout the experiment. Data are expressed as means ± SEM (). versus Sham (ANOVA, Bonferroni).
