Transmission electron microscopy of mitochondrial morphology in synovial tissues. Sprague-Dawley rats were induced by CIA for 14 days and subjected to daily drug administration at various doses for 20 consecutive days. Selected areas in the microscopic images were magnified to show details of mitochondrial structure (scale bar, 500 nm). Arrows marked by “Fi” indicate areas where mitochondrial fission has occurred. Low, medium, and high doses of COR and PAE were administered, but the medium doses (COR-M and PAE-M) were selected as representatives for analysis. CIA: collagen-induced arthritis; COR: Cornus officinalis; PAE: Paeonia lactiflora; PF: paeoniflorin; UA: ursolic acid; DEX: dexamethasone.
