CUR can improve quadriceps femoris muscle atrophy due to KOA. (A) Representative H&E staining images of the quadriceps femoris muscle. Scale bar = 50 µm. (B) Myofiber CSA determined from cross-sections of the quadriceps femoris muscle. (C) Changes in MuRF-1 and Atrogin-1 expression were assessed by Western blotting. Equal protein loading was normalized by GAPDH. Original blots/gels were presented in Supplementary Figs. S1S3. Control represents the blank control rats. Sham represents sham-operated group rats. KOA represents the knee osteoarthritis model group rats. KOA + CUR represents the treated group rats with feeding CUR. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001. All data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 3 for each group.
