Meta-analysis / review

Abstract

This systematic review of the molecular mechanisms behind rosehip's documented clinical effects in osteoarthritis found potent antioxidant radical-scavenging effects and anti-inflammatory activities, including reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, NF-kB signalling, COX-1/2, 5-LOX, iNOS and C-reactive protein, matching the clinical action of Rosa canina.
