Abstract
T. ornata a macroalgae rich in bioactive molecules possess various biological activities. Herein, the aim of the study is to evaluate the aqueous extract and the sulphated polysaccharide isolated from T. ornata for its anti-arthritic potential in Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis in rats. Anti-arthritic potential of aqueous T. ornata (ATO) and T. ornata sulphated polysaccharide (TSP) was evidenced by the significant reduction in paw volume and arthritic score. Inflammatory and antioxidant markers were found to be restored in the drug treated groups which was found to be in line with dexamethasone a standard anti-inflammatory drug. The histopathological and radiological examination adds on the support to the above findings confirming the anti-arthritic potential of ATO and TSP. It is interesting to note that the sulphated polysaccharide inhibits inflammation and bone damage at very low dose itself. Hence, TSP could be considered as a better candidate in the management of chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
期刊介绍:
Cessation. The international multidisciplinary journal is devoted to the publication of studies covering the whole range of experimental research on disease processes and toxicology including cell biological investigations. Its aim is to support progress in the interdisciplinary cooperation of researchers working in pathobiology, toxicology, and cell biology independent of the methods applied. During the past decades increasing attention has been paid to the importance of toxic influence in the pathogenesis of human and animal diseases. This is why Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology meets the urgent need for an interdisciplinary journal felt by a wide variety of experts in medicine and biology, including pathologists, toxicologists, biologists, physicians, veterinary surgeons, pharmacists, and pharmacologists working in academic, industrial or clinical institutions.
