Periploca forrestii Saponin Ameliorates Murine CFA-Induced Arthritis by Suppressing Cytokine Production

Figure 3

Effect of PFS treatment on protein expression levels of p-STAT3, IKK, and p-IB protein expression levels in the AIA rat model. AIA was induced as described in Methods. Arthritic rats were treated with 50 mg/kg PFS for 35 days. In day 28 off-target organs paws were processed and protein lysates were probed for expression of p-STAT3 and related NF-B family members (IKK and p-IB) by Western blotting. N: normal; C: control.
