Paper Summary

Triptolide was tested on rats with arthritis to see if it could reduce pain. Rats were divided into different groups and given different doses of Triptolide. The results showed that rats treated with Triptolide had less pain compared to untreated rats. This pain relief was linked to lower levels of certain proteins in the spinal cord and nerves.
