Assessing the Effects of Parthenolide on Inflammation, Bone Loss, and Glial Cells within a Collagen Antibody-Induced Arthritis Mouse Model

Evaluation of local inflammation and mechanical hypersensitivity of mouse paws: (a) representative macroscopic appearance of the front paws at day 7 postarthritis induction; (b) average paw scores of each group over the 10-day model. Control mice had a paw score of 0 at each time point; (c) mean tactile paw withdrawal threshold of each group on alternate days throughout the 10-day model. Error bars represent SEM ( mice per control, CAIA+PAR 1 mg/kg, and CAIA+PAR 4 mg/kg; mice per CAIA; ).
