Effect of Saffron Extract, Astaxanthin, and Carnosic Acid on the Levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and on Body Weight Changes in Arthritis Experiments

The aim of this study was to explore the potential effect of natural compounds and their combination with methotrexate (M) on levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) as a key biochemical parameter in rat adjuvant arthritis. Further change of body weight was selected as one of clinical parameter...

description The aim of this study was to explore the potential effect of natural compounds and their combination with methotrexate (M) on levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) as a key biochemical parameter in rat adjuvant arthritis. Further change of body weight was selected as one of clinical parameters monitored in this animal model.
