Sinomenine reduced ankle joint swelling and arthritis scores in AA mice. (A) Schematic diagram of the animal experiment. (B) Representative pictures of the hind paws of the mice on Day 33. The left hind paws are indicated by black arrows. (C) The diameter of the ankle joint was measured every three days. The data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 10). (D) The severity of arthritis was scored 0–4. The data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 10). (E) The bodyweight of the mice was monitored. The data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 10). Control, AA, AA + SIN and AA + MTX indicate the control group, the AA model group, the Sinomenine treatment group and the methotrexate treatment group, respectively. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
