Abstract

Osteoarthritis is commonly the most joint disorder that rises with the aging of the population. The oxidative stress and overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are responsible for many process related to osteoarthritis such as the intracellular signaling process, apoptosis, extracellular matrix synthesis, dysfunction of the subchondral bone, and other processes. Thus far, drugs for osteoarthritis are still scarce, therefore targeting the complex oxidative stress signaling pathways would be a potential strategy in finding treatment of this disease.
