Abstract
Background: The purpose of the present study was to study the potential anti-arthritic and antioxidant effects of trehalose in an experimental model of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis.
Methods: Arthritis was induced via subcutaneous injection of CFA (0.1) into the right footpad of each rat. Trehalose (10 mg/kg per day) and indomethacin (5 mg/kg) as a reference drug were intraperitoneally injected into CFA-induced arthritic rats from days 0 to 21. Changes in paw volume, pain responses, arthritic score, and oxidative/antioxidative parameters were determined.
Results: Trehalose administration could significantly decrease arthritis scores (p <0.01) and paw edema (p <0.001), and significantly increase the nociceptive threshold (p <0.05) in CFA-induced arthritic rats. Trehalose also significantly reduced the pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance values when compared to CFA treatment alone. In addition, no significant difference was found between the trehalose group and indomethacin as a positive control group.
Conclusion: The current study suggests that trehalose has a protective effect against arthritis, which may be mediated by antioxidative effects of this disaccharide.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
