Effects of Fu Yuan Capsule on mRNA expression of extracellular matrix degradation factors. (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g), respectively, showed that ADAMTS-4, ADAMTS-5, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 mRNA were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (each group, ). compared with the control group; compared with the other groups.
