To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect on Degenerative Osteoarthritis, Male sprague-Dawley rats were randomized and classified into three different concentration groups. We measured weekly weight change, dietary intake, drinking water intake, blood analysis like TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α), IL-6 (interleukin 6), TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease-1), MMP-2 (matrix metalloprotease-2), MMP-9 (matrix metalloprotease-9) and micro CT analysis. The results suggest that the treatment with herbal complex HP-04 improved the Monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) induced degenerative osteoarthritis and it could be applicable for the improvement of arthritic symptoms as a new therapeutic agent.
