Excerpt

Collagen type II-induced arthritis (CIA) shares immunological and pathological characteristics with human rheumatoid arthritis. Anti-collagen (CII) autoantibodies appear to be a primary mechanism of immunopathogenesis in this model [1]. On the other hand, previous studies have shown that rats fed cocoa exhibit a lower antibody production after ovoalbumin immunization [2]. …
