“…One possible modified application can be found in the report from elsewhere that deer aquaacupuncture has protective effect on arthritis. 37) In conclusion, we found that treatment of OA with the deer bone extract induced the up-regulation of COL2 and TIMPs and the down-regulation of MMPs by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines. The deer bone extract exhibited recovery effects similar to those of a positive supplement (i.e.…”

“…These data are supported by other studies showing improvement of inflammation conditions with suppression of inflammatory cytokines. 13,34,35) In addition, a recent study reported that deer bone extract activated macrophages to alleviate neutropenia, which is characterized by a low neutrophil number and an increased level of cytokines (IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in mouse neutropenia model system). 36) Collectively, deer bone-derived samples seem to have beneficial effects on inflammation, as shown in our study.…”

“…Incidence of CIA was calculated by dividing the number of mice showing swelling of any paws with the number of total mice tested. Severity of disease was evaluated by clinical score graded as follows: grade 0, no swelling; grade 1, slight swelling and erythema; grade 2, moderate swelling and edema; grade 3, extreme swelling and pronounced edema; grade 4, joint rigidity [2,16]. Each limb was graded, giving a maximum possible score of 16 per animal.…”
