Abstract in English
Rat collagen II – induced arthritis is a model of chronic
inflammation induced by Mycobacterium butyricum and collagen II. It is
characterized by similar pathophysiological and pathobiochemical changes
as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in humans. In the present study, the
biochemical and histopathological effects of vitamin E, allopurinol (Allo),
on RA of rats were investigated. The oxidative stress indices and
prostaglandin E were evaluated.
