Assessment of the knee swelling in rats with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced OA after NGUC supplementation. (A) Images of the hind knee joints 4 weeks after Next Generation Ultrasol Curcumin (NGUC) supplementation in rats with MIA-induced OA. Graphs demonstrate (B) left knee joint diameter, (C) right knee joint diameter and (D) the ratio of right to left diameter values in rats with MIA-induced OA. The data are presented as means ± SD (n=7 for each group). Statistical differences among the groups were determined by one-way ANOVA followed by a post-hoc Tukey test; ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. NGUC, next generation ultrasol curcumin; OA, osteoarthritis; OA+Cur 1, 100 mg/kg of NGUC; OA+Cur 2, 200 mg/kg of NGUC.
