With increased age, individuals develop a chronic inflammatory status, and pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as mediators contribute to the progression of OA. However, no desirable remedies have been completely able to inhibit OA progression or safely provide effective symptomatic relief. Natural component extracts or dietary-derived compounds are widely used for anti-inflammatory diseases. Curcumin and freshwater clam extract (FCE) have been proven as functional foods that are able to regulate immune systems. This study demonstrated that curcumin and FCE had synergistic effects on alleviating the progression of OA by assuaging inflammation and repairing the cartilage within the joints. After consumption of curcumin and FCE, the severity of synovitis was quantified by the infrapatellar fat pad inflammation scoring system and the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scoring system. Significant improvement and articular cartilage regeneration were noted. Moreover, once the inflammation within the joints was reduced, the animals redistributed their body weight on the OA-induced hindlimb. In summary, curcumin and FCE possess desirable anti-inflammatory and repair functions, suggesting their potential as alternative remedies in the management of OA or other inflammatory diseases. ? 2021 by the authors.
