Oligosaccharides were prepared through mild hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of -carrageenan from Kappaphycus striatum carrageenan. Three oligosaccharides were purified by strong-anion exchange high-performance chromatography. Their structure was elucidated using mass spectral and NMR data. Negative-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra at different fragmentor voltages provided the molecul...

Hydrogel is a three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers widely used in the biomedical field, one which tissue sealant. The material that can be manufacture hydrogels chitosan. ability chitosan formation hydrogel still limited by its swelling and adhesive properties, so it requires other materials such as crosslinkers, kappa-carrageenan stabilize increase viscosity hydrogel. addition Irg...

The present study was attempt that the antiflammatory effect of Tarenna asiatica ( L) in Carrageenan induced lung inflammation. The exudate and blood was collected from male albino mice. The serum was separated and used for various biochemical analysis. Malondialdehyde was estimated by the thiobarbituric acid assay method. Reduced glutathione, Protein, Alpha-tocopherol, Vitamin C and E , IgG wa...

the demand for low fat snacks is increasing. there are different methods to produce low fat fried products. one of these methods is coating. in this study effect of carrageenan, oil temperature and frying time, on oil uptake of fried products (chips and strips) has been evaluated. samples were deep fried in frying oil (palm olein) at 160, 175 and 190 ºc. in order to evaluate the effect of fryin...

background: inflammation is a dynamic process that is elicited in response to various harmful stimulantsthat may threaten the well-being of the host. herbs have been traditionally used as anti-inflammatory agents since very early times. rubia tinctorum l. is one of these herbs that havebeen used for treating inflammatory diseases in iranian traditional medicine. objective: this study aims at co...

Anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Morus indica Linn. was studied in wistar rats using the carrageenan induced left hind paw edema, carrageenan induced pleurisy and cotton pellet induced granuloma model. The ethanolic extract (100 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibited carrageenan induced rat paw edema. It also showed an inhibitory effect on leukocyte migration and a reduction...

In this study, we investigated the effect of λ-carrageenan on the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs) and its adjuvant effect on DC-based vaccine. We found that λ-carrageenan dose-dependently decreased the endocytosis of DCs, promoted DC maturation and increased cytokine production through TLR4 mediated signaling pathway. λ-carrageenan treatment also enhanced the ability of DCs in ...

Experiments were carried out to examine the effect of acute inflammation, induced by intra-articular injection of 2% carrageenan, on the response of articular blood vessels in the knee joints of rabbits to adrenoceptor agonists. The responses to noradrenaline, phenylephrine, clonidine, UK-14304, and isoprenaline were examined 24 hours after carrageenan injection and compared with those of norma...

BACKGROUND Although considerable evidence indicates neuronal Ca channels play significant roles in pain perception, their possible importance in hypersensitization after acute inflammation has not been investigated. METHODS Using carrageenan for inducing hypersensitization, the authors investigated the analgesic effects of intrathecally administered N- and P/Q-type channel blockers, omega-con...

Acacia farnesiana lectin-like protein (AFAL) is a chitin-binding protein and has been classified as phytohaemagglutinin from Phaseolus vulgaris (PHA). Legume lectins are examples for structural studies, and this family of proteins shows a remarkable conservation in primary, secondary, and tertiary structures. Lectins have ability to reduce the effects of inflammation caused by phlogistic agents...
