(A) H&E staining for histological evaluation in synovium, and (B) synovitis score. Images were captured at ×40 magnification, and local magnification of a selected square at ×200 was applied. Differences in synovitis score in the control vs. OA, control vs. OAE and OA vs. OAE groups were statistically significant (n=5). (C) ELISA of IL-1β and IL-4 levels in the serum and IALF. Treadmill exercise reduced the increase in IL-1β and reversed the decrease in IL-4 caused by monosodium iodoacetate injection, in the serum and IALF (n=10). Results are expressed as the mean and 95% confidence interval (one-way analysis of variance). +P<0.05 vs. OA group; ***P<0.001 vs. control group. OA, osteoarthritis; OAE, OA with treadmill exercise; H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; IALF, intra-articular lavage fluid; IL, interleukin.
