Figure 6

Effects of Fu Yuan Capsule on inflammatory mediators. IL-1β mRNA (a) was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of NO (c) and PGE2 (e) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in serum. The expression of IL-1β (b), NO (d), and PGE2 (f) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in cartilage. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (each group, ). compared with the control group; compared with the other groups.
