ZG inhibits cartilage degeneration in DMM mice at the 6th week. A. Joint histology in the DMM model. Knee joint tissue sections were derived from DMM mice following 6 weeks of ZG and NS treatments (NS). Joint sections were stained with Safranin-O/fast green. Representative images of mouse joints are shown (n=8 mice per time point). B. Maximal histological scores across the femoral condyle. C. Maximal histological scores across the tibial plateau. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, n.s, not statistically significant.
