Histopathologic changes of the synovium in CIA and NAFLD rats. (A) In normal rats, synoviocytes were in monolayers (a) and articular cartilage was normal (b). (B) In CIA + NAFLD rats, serious proliferation of synoviocytes (a) and destruction of articular cartilage (b), with new blood vessels (or pannus) (c) and infiltration of inflammatory cells (d) were observed. (C) In NAFLD rats, there was slight destruction of articular cartilage (a), new blood vessels (b), pannus (c), and infiltration of inflammatory cells (d). (D) In CIA rats, destruction of articular cartilage (a), new blood vessels (b), pannus (c), and infiltration of inflammatory cells (d) were observed (b). Scale bar = 250 µm.
