Exploring the Mechanism of Acupuncture's Influence on the Protease Activity and Free Radical Damage in Synovial Fluid of Rheumatoid Arthritis Rats Induced by Type II Collagen from the Release of Active Oxygen
Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1007/s12010-024-04932-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcupuncture was studied to investigate the mechanism of its effect on protease vitality and free radical damage in Type I CIA rats induced by type II collagen. The study divided rats into a control group (injected with physiological saline, n = 10), a model group (injected with type II collagen, n = 10), and an intervention group (injected with type II collagen + acupuncture ST36 and GB39, 3 times a week, for a total of 4 weeks, n = 10) based on the different injected drugs. Then, various indicators of the mice were experim...
