GTE ameliorates AIA in rats.(A and B) GTE (200 mg/kg/day, p.o.) was administered daily from Day 7 to 16. Articular index scores were averaged for each animal and Δ ankle circumferences (minus Day 0) values were averaged for each animal before group comparisons and final values represented as the mean of ‘n’ number of animals per group. Mean ± SEM is shown for ankle articular index scores (range 0–4) and ankle Δ circumferences (in millimetres) determined on indicated days after adjuvant injection. (C) The mean ± SEM increases in body weight measured on the indicated days after adjuvant injection. n: number of animals used for the clinical assessment. Details are provided in the ‘Materials and methods’ section.
