The data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. (𝑛=5). TL: total leukocyte; MN: mononuclear cells; PMN: polymorphonuclear cells; the determination of the number of cells was performed on day zero (before the injection of CFA in the left hind paw) and on day 21 after induction of arthritis. ^a𝑃<0.01 compared to the AIA control group. One-way ANOVA post hoc Tukey test.
