Evaluation of protective efficacy of Spirulina platensis against collagen-induced arthritis in rats

Kumar, Narendra, Singh, Surendra, Patro, Nisha, Patro, Ishan·2009·Inflammopharmacology

Abstract

Aim To assess the protective efficacy of Spirulina platensis against collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in female Wistar rats based on the changes in paws thickness, serum albumin, cholesterol, lipid peroxidation, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase activities and histology of paw joints.Methods Arthritis was induced by intradermal injection of Collagen and Freund's adjuvant incomplete suspension at several sites on the back with a dose of 2 mg kg(-1) of body weight and boosted with 0.1 ml intradermally at the base of the tail. CIA rats were orally treated with 200 and 400 mg kg(-1) per oral of S. platensis from 0 to 45th day.Results S. platensis at 400 mg kg(-1) per oral significantly elevates serum albumin and decreases the serum cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase activities, lipid peroxidation, paw thickness as well as normalize the joint histopathology of CIA rats.Conclusions S. platensis (400 mg kg(-1)) significantly normalizes changes observed in arthritic rats to near normal conditions, indicates that S. platensis has promising protective efficacy against CIA rats.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
