Effect of SOE on serum and urinary osteoarthritic markers. a Serum GST level measurements b serum COMP measurements and c urinary CTX-II levels. All values are expressed as Mean ± S.E.M. (n = 6/group); *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared to the MIA group compared to the 250 mg.kg^− 1 day^− 1 dose. GSTs (Glutathione S-transferases), serum COMP (cartilage oligomeric matrix protein) and Urinary CTX-II (C-telopeptide of type II collagen), NS= non significant
