Effects of pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) on the production of Prostaglandin-E2(PGE2) and matrix metalloproteinases-13 (MMP-13) in the plasma and synovial fluid of ACLT rabbit model. Knee joints were harvested after 8 week of ACLT surgery. A-D, Plasma and synovial fluids from different groups (Sham n=3;ACLT n=6;Sham+Post-Surgery PFE n=3;ACLT+ Post-Surgery PFE n=6, Sham+ Pre-&Post-Surgery PFEn=3;ACLT+ Post-Surgery PFE n=6) were analyzed for A and B, PGE2 and C and D, MMP-13 production using ELISA according to the manufacturer instruction. Each experiment was performed in duplicate. Values are shown as Mean ± SE.*P<0.05 **P<0.01
