TLC: Total leukocyte count; SD: Standard deviation; Number of animals in each group is six. Values, which have the same superscript symbol(s), are not significantly different. Percentage (%) changes were calculated by comparing arthritic control group with normal control and arthritic-treated groups with the arthritic control group. |
