Effect of treatment on the MSU-induced alterations in the serum levels of MCP-1, VEGF, PGE2 of different experimental groups: Negative control, Monosodium Urate (MSU)-induced arthritic rats, treated MSU + Berberine (BERB, 50 mg/kg/day, oral), treated MSU + Paracetamol (Para, 50 mg/kg/day, oral). Results are presented as mean ± SEM. Bars show mean and standard error at the group level with different letters (a, b, c, d) indicating statistical significance at P ≤ 0.05. (a) Monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), (b) Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and (c) Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).
