Antioxidant effects of gold nanoparticles on early stage of collagen-induced arthritis in rats

ConclusionsIntraarticular injections of 13 nm or 50 nm AuNPs showed an antioxidant action significantly raising catalase activity without causing negative effects on hematological indices. Prophylactic treatment with 50 nm more than with 13 nm AuNPs suppressed joint swelling, synovial angiogenesis and cartilage erosion in the initial stage of arthritis.
