Effects of RuPeng15 Powder (RPP15) on Monosodium Urate Crystal-Induced Gouty Arthritis in Rats

Table 1

MOD values of NF-B p65 in the synovium (mean ± SD).

Group	NF-κB p65
Vehicle + control group	0.026 ± 0.006
Vehicle + MSU crystal	0.097 ± 0.022
MSU + indomethacin (3 mg/kg)	0.047 ± 0.013
MSU + PRP15 (0.4 g/kg)	0.046 ± 0.003
MSU + PRP15 (0.8 g/kg)	0.038 ± 0.013
MSU + PRP15 (1.2 g/kg)	0.036 ± 0.016

For quantitation, 30 visual fields were analyzed from each group, five from each of the six sections from separate rats. From these, the MOD values were calculated. MOD: mean optical density. Data are means ± SD (). versus vehicle-control group (control). versus vehicle with MSU crystal (model).
