pectin/edema

An effect of apiogalacturonanic pectin of duckweed Lemna minor L. (lemnan LM) was studied on the inflammatory response to ovalbumin injected intradermally into the footpad of control and ovalbumin-fed mice. Lemnan LM (1-2 mg per mouse) was found to enhance by as much as 50-60% the footpad swelling

Flour made from Passiflora edulis fruit peel has been used in Brazil to treat diabetes. This study evaluated the effects of pectin from P. edulis on rats with alloxan-induced diabetes, on myeloperoxidase release from human neutrophils, and on carrageenan-induced paw edema. In the experiments on

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical acute abdominal disease. The intestinal injury associated with AP will aggravate the condition retroactively. This study investigates whether the low-methoxyl pectin (LMP) isolated from lemon could attenuate AP and associated intestinal

BACKGROUND As patients with cancer are living longer, there is a need to ensure that treatments used for palliative care are well tolerated and effective during long-term use. OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term use of fentanyl pectin nasal spray (FPNS) for the treatment of breakthrough pain in

The pectic polysaccharide named potamogetonan (PN) was obtained using extraction of the leaves and stems of the common pondweed Potamogeton natans L. by an aqueous ammonium oxalate. The purified potamogetonan PN-300 was obtained using membrane ultrafiltration of PN and proved to be pectin with a

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the efficacy of hydroxytyrosol in the local treatment of inflammatory colitis. Currently, the existing treatments for inflammatory bowel diseases does not cure the disease and it is associated with high rates of side effects and complications. Hydroxytyrosol is a

OBJECTIVE The effect of the uptake of erythritol with and without the addition of pectin on fecal condition, p-OSM and p-AVP levels, and the endolymphatic volume was investigated to consider the possibility that erythritol is applicable as a therapeutic agent for Meniere's disease. METHODS Two

Background and Purpose- Plasma levels of galectin-3-a matricellular protein-are increased after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), but the functional significance remains undetermined. This study was conducted to evaluate whether modified citrus pectin (MCP; galectin-3 inhibitor) prevents

Quercetin (1) is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant flavonoid. However, the oral administration of 1 did not lead to beneficial effects in experimental animal colitis models, which involve cytokines and oxidative stress. A possible explanation is that the absorption profile of 1 prevents its

The tight glycemic control required to attenuate chronic complications in type 1 diabetes mellitus requires multiple daily injections of bolus insulin which cause hyperinsulinemic edema and hypertension due to Na(+) retention. Reports indicate that pectin insulin (PI)-containing dermal patches

OBJECTIVE How to prevent the small intestinal damage induced by NSAIDs is an urgent issue to be resolved. In the present study, we examined the effects of soluble dietary fibers on both anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic effects of indomethacin in arthritic rats. METHODS Male Wistar rats weighing

The aim of this study is to isolate pectin from peel (WNPE) and pulp (WNPU) of Opuntia microdasys var. rufida's (OMR) cladodes and to characterize these polysaccharides by size exclusion (SEC/MALS/VD/DRI), gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometer (GC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR),
