PG - 611-615 LID - S1268-7731(23)00135-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.fas.2023.07.007 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Recently, herbal medicine has become alternative in management of gout. Our aim is to assess effectiveness of purple sweet potato extract in gout. METHOD: In vivo study with randomized posttest only control group design. Purple sweet potato extract administered to 16 Wistar rats with MSU-induced gout. Independent t-test for analyzing interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and number of chondrocytes results. RESULTS: Decreased level of IL-1beta (3.81 +/- 1.54 ng/mL vs. 2.55 +/- 0.59 ng/mL, p = 0.04), MDA (5.04 +/- 1.02 ng/mL vs. 2.27 +/- 0.57 ng/mL, p = 0.04), MMP-3 (5.66 +/- 1.02 ng/mL vs. 3.84 +/- 1.37 ng/mL, p = 0.01) COMP (21.01 +/- 3.57 ng/mL vs. 17.27 +/- 2.60 ng/mL, p = 0.03), and increasing chondrocytes (35.17 +/- 12.35 lp vs. 48.56 +/- 7.17 lp, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Purple sweet potato extract with anthocyanin inhibits inflammation and cartilage degeneration in gout. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 1. CI - Copyright (c) 2023. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
