Anti-Arthritis Efficacy
Prof Lee concludes by highlighting the use of in-vitro studies to detect the anti-arthritis efficacy of herbal extracts, employing cell lines like human and mouse primary chondrocytes.
Inducers such as LPS or IL-1 beta, and parameters including PGE2, nitric oxide, and protein expression, reveal the effectiveness of traditional herbal medicine. In-vivo experiments on rabbits with acute inflammatory arthritis show significant reductions in red colors and blood PGE2 levels after herbal medicine treatment.
The data further indicates improved weight-bearing force and movement, supporting the anti-inflammatory effects for knee damage. Prof Lee underscores the global development of herbal products for osteoarthritis, emphasizing their efficacy.
