Ginsenoside-Rb1 inhibits monoiodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis in postmenopausal rats through prevention of cartilage degradation

ConclusionOverall, our results suggest that G-Rb1 exerts cartilage protective effect on MIA induced ovariectomized OA rats, by inhibiting inflammatory mediators such as IL-6, IL-1β, MCP1/CCL2, COX-2, and PGE2. These results shed a light on possible therapeutic application of G-Rb1 in OA.Graphical abstract
