To investigate the prevention of histopathological examination and molecular biological examinations for arthritis improvement in vivo New Zealand, white rabbits were divided into a normal (Normal, n = 7), or a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA, n = 7), or a collagenase injection and medicinal herbs (SAA, n = 7). It was confirmed that induced arthritis was treated with Gross examination, and the measurement of average arthritis index (MAI) and improved arthritis by medicinal herbs. TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly increased in the CIA and SAA groups, compared to the normal group (p < 0.05). MMP-1 and TIMP-2 were significantly increased in the CIA, compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). MMP-1 and TIMP-2 were significantly decreased in the SAA group, compared to the CIA group (p < 0.05).
