TF3 diminishes cartilage destruction in OA rat model. SD rats were divided into five groups: Control, OA, OA + Erastin, OA + Erastin+TF3, OA + Erastin+DFO. (a) The representative visual inspection of cartilage damage and representative images is shown. The arrows point to the areas of medial femoral condyles. (b) The representative MRI results of rats. (c) The representative HE staining results of different groups. (d) The progression of OA was evaluated using the OARSI scores. , . Statistical comparisons were calculated using the Mann–Whitney test.
