Petroleum ether extract of LF (PEL) treatment significantly alleviated paw swelling and bone erosion in adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) rats, and the efficacy was superior to that of ethyl acetate extract of LF (EEL) and water extract of LF (WEL). A Macroscopic observation of paws of AIA rats with different treatments. B Micro-CT analysis of joints of AIA rats with different treatments under anesthesia using the Skyscan 1276 Micro-CT. C Bone surface area calculation of joints of AIA rats with different treatments, where higher bone surface area means more severe bone erosion. Data were recorded as mean ± SEM. Differences were assessed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test and one-way ANOVA, *P < 0.05 vs MC, **P < 0.01 vs MC. (n = 2)
