Table 4

Histological scores for arthritic and nonarthritic rats.

Group	Knee joint
	Inflammation	Erosion
Normal	0	0
Arthritis	4	4
Arthritis + indomethacin (5 mg/kg)	3	2
Arthritis + NA-2 (5 mg/kg)	2	0

The severity of arthritis was scored on a scale of 0–4. A score of 0 indicates absence of inflammation (I) or erosion (E) in the joints and tail samples, whereas a score of 2-3 demonstrates a mild to moderate inflammation and tissue erosion.
