The activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Gelam honey in inflammation induced rats via NF-κB signalling pathway. Rats paw edema was induced by
Sclareol (1) is a natural fragrance compound used widely in the cosmetic and food industries. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages and the λ-carrageenan-induced edema mouse paw model were applied to examine the anti-inflammatory potential of 1 and its possible molecular
The aim of this study was to investigate an effect of oral treatment of rats with bovine lactoferrin (BLF) on carrageenan-induced inflammation. Rats were given 5 oral doses of BLF (10 mg each) on alternate days and 24 h after the last dose a carrageenan inflammation was induced in the hind foot.
Temporomandibular disorders represent one of the major challenges in dentistry therapeutics. This study was undertaken to evaluate the time course of carrageenan-induced inflammation in the rat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and to investigate the role of tachykinin NK(1) receptors. Inflammation was
BACKGROUND
It is known that L-carnitine is a cofactor in the transport of fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation. However, L-carnitine is an antioxidant compound widely used for the treatment of deficits in functions due to the aging process.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of
Previous electrophysiological studies demonstrated a limited role of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor (5-HT3R), but facilitatory role of 5-HT1AR and 5-HT1BR in spinal nociceptive processing of carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain. The release of spinal 5-HT was shown to peak in early-phase and return
The present study was conducted to test the hypothesis that the peripheral 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)2A receptor is involved in inflammatory hyperalgesia and production of noxious stimulus-induced neuronal activity at the level of the spinal cord dorsal horn. Intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of
Carrageenan-induced inflammation of the rat hindpaw has been used as a model for persistent pain of inflammatory origin. The induction of inflammation resulting from carrageenan injection in the rat hindpaw has been shown to elicit an increase in the antinociceptive potency of morphine, an effect
This electrophysiological study uses the mixed peptidase inhibitor kelatorphan and the selective kappa-antagonist nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI) to investigate whether there is altered modulation of spinal nociceptive transmission by endogenous opioids 3 h after injection of carrageenan into the
Several studies have shown that the anti-inflammatory effect of Pioglitazone extends beyond the cardiovascular system. This study examines the anti-inflammatory effect of Pioglitazone in comparison to reference drugs (Dexamethasone and Indomethacin) in the mouse model of pleurisy induced by
We report the effect of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) in an acute inflammation model induced by carrageenan (CG) and compared this effect with those induced by the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) alone and by the synergistic effect of NAC and AuNP together. Male Wistar rats received saline or saline
SaPLIγ is a natural phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor, isolated from Sinonatrix annularis, that has been demonstrated to protect against envenomation by other venomous snakes. As snake venom PLA2s and mammalian secretory PLA2s are similar, saPLIγ is thought to have potential to alleviate
BACKGROUND
Oral administration of the standardized Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® has been shown to inhibit thermal hyperalgesia in rodent models of inflammatory and postsurgical pain, but the mechanism underlying these effects is not known. We sought to determine the site of action of EGb 761 by
Carrageenan from two commercial sources was used in varying concentrations to evoke an acute inflammatory response in the foot pad of chickens. Oedema formation and increased vascular permeability were less severe using this experimental model than with turpentine-induced injury. Inflammation was
A suitable small animal model may help in the screening and evaluation of new drugs, especially those from natural products, which can be administered at lower dosages, fulfilling an urgent worldwide need. In this study, we explore whether zebrafish could be a model organism for carrageenan-induced
