Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by inflammation of one or more joints, and affects ~1% of the adult population worldwide. Sulforaphane (SFN) is a natural compound that has been suggested as an antioxidant. Here, SFN’s effects were evaluated in a murine mono-arthritis model.

Objective: Activation of antiinflammatory cholinergic (vagal) pathways can reduce inflammation, and in vitro studies support a pivotal role of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7-nAChR), macrophages, and T cells in these events. The aim of this study was to assess α7-nAChR agonists as an antiinflammatory treatment for Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA)-induced monoarthritis.
Methods: Arthritis was induced by intraarticular injection of CFA unilaterally into the knee joints of mice.

This study evaluated the effects of two protocols of exercise on nociception, edema and cell migration in rats with CFA-induced arthritis. Female Wistar rats (200 - 250 g, n = 50) was monoarthritis-induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA; Mycobacterium butyricum, 0.5 mg/mL; 50 μL) into the right knee joint (TF; n = 24) or right ankle joint (TT; n = 26).

Pharmacologic glucocorticoids are powerful inhibitors of the inflammatory response at many levels, including leucocyte trafficking and function. The adhesion molecule P-selectin is a key participant in polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) migration to sites of inflammation. The extent to which endogenous glucocorticoids influence PMN migration and activation is not clear.

Impairment of the joints in the form of classic migrating polyarthritic was detected in 96% of the cases. The knee (in 80%), talocrural (in 72%), slightly rare radiocarpal (in 21%), and elbow joints were mostly damaged.
