Figure 7

Effects of Fu Yuan Capsule on articular cartilage protective factor. Representative Western blotting bands (a) and semiquantitative analysis of HSP70 (b) in various groups. TGF-β mRNA (c) was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was also performed to examine the mRNA expression of OPG and RANKL (d). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (each group, ). compared with the control group; compared with the other groups.
