The anti-allodynic effect of EGCG. (a) The temporal pattern of weight distribution of the osteoarthritis (OA) joint. Rats injected with 10 μM EGCG (EGCG group) or saline (OA group and control group) in the right knee were examined for the change in hind paw weight distribution for 5 weeks after anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). A significant difference was noted between OA and EGCG-treated groups at 2, 3, 4, and 5 weeks after ACLT. (b) The results of running endurance at 5 weeks after ACLT. The running endurance was tested one week before and every one week after ACLT for 5 weeks. The running endurance was significantly decreased in the OA group compared with the control. There was a significant improvement in running endurance after EGCG treatment. (** p < 0.01 OA vs. control; ## p < 0.01 OA vs. EGCG).
