Rat model of OA
After one week of adaptive feeding, all rats were anesthetized with 10%
chloral hydrate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA). OA rats have
injected monosodium iodoacetate (MIA, 1 mg/50μL, 50μL, Sigma-Aldrich)
into the right knee intraarticularly. The control group received an
intraarticular injection of an equal volume of 0.9% normal saline (NS,
50μL) [25].
