Figure 5. Eucommia ulmoides (EU) regulates LXA4 and inflammatory responses induced by monoiodoacetate (MIA). (A-D) Levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β (A), PGE2 (B), CTXII (C), and LXA4 (D) in intra-articular lavage fluid (IALF) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA was performed followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. LXA4, Lipoxin A4; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-alpha; IL-6, Interleukin-16; IL-1βInterleukin-1beta; PGE2, Prostaglandin E2; CTXII, C-telopeptide fragments of type II collagen.Pound keys (#) indicate statistical significance (#P < 0.05, ###P < 0.005) relative to Sham operated group. Asterisks (*) indicate statistical significance (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.05, ***P < 0.005) comparing EU-treated groups relative to MIA injected group
