Figure 1

SM attenuates the severity of arthritis in CIA rats. (a) SM treatment suppressed paw swelling in rats with CIA. (b) The weights of rats in the SM treatment groups increased compared with those of rats in the untreated group, but this difference was not statistically significant. (c) SM significantly decreased the mean arthritis score in CIA rats compared to that in control rats. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n=6). #P< 0.05, ##P< 0.01 compared with the control group; P< 0.05, P< 0.01 compared with the CIA group.
