| Abstract | Rheumatoid arthritis is nowadays major problem among the aged old people in the society. During the past few decades there has been a dramatic increase in the use of natural herbal products for the treatment of this disease. Theaflavin (TF) is the chief flavonoid of black tea and possess anti oxidant, anti inflammatory property. The aim of the study was to evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of TF, chief flavonoid of Black tea on experimental arthritic animal model. Rheumatoid arthritis was induced in animal models by Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA). Male albino Wister rats (120 ± 10 g) were used and they were divided into 5 groups: Group 1: Sham control; Group 2: Arthritis control, Group 3: Standard (Indomethacin), Group 4: TF treated (low dose), Group 5: TF treated (high dose). Anti-arthritic activity of TF was examined through urinary, serum, synovial fluid parameters, bone ash parameters, histological, radiological studies of joints, SEM studies of joint architecture and cell cycle analysis. It has been observed that urinary parameters changed significantly in arthritic group as compared with sham control and the change was significantly restored in TF treated and standard drug treated groups. Serum enzymes, serum cytokines, synovial cytokines, bone ash minerals levels were restored significantly in TF treated groups as compared with arthritic groups. Histological, radiological and SEM studies of the joint/bone architecture showed restoration of the structural architecture of the arthritic joint/bone after TF treatment. TF treatment significantly arrested the cell cycle of white blood cells at Go/G1 phase. The findings showed that TF possess distinct anti-arthritic activity in animal model and further studies are warranted on the mechanism of action. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
