Change in Hindpaw weight-bearing distribution. Values are the mean ± SEM (n = 7). Nor: normal rats; Con: MIA-induced osteoarthritis rats; GLM200: MIA-induced osteoarthritis rats administrated with green-lipped mussel 200 mg/kg body weight; PLM50: MIA-induced osteoarthritis rats administrated with PLM 50 mg/kg body weight; PLM100: MIA-induced osteoarthritis rats administrated with PLM 100 mg/kg body weight; PLM200: MIA-induced osteoarthritis rats administrated with PLM 200 mg/kg body weight. Significance: #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. normal rat values. ∗After 2 weeks, the decreased HWBD was significantly increased at GLM200 and PLM200 groups (P < 0.05).
