Anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilizing properties of methyl jasmonate in rats.
The present investigation was carried out to evaluate anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilizing properties of methyl jasmonate (MJ) in experimental rat models of acute and chronic inflammation. The effects of MJ on acute inflammation were assessed using carrageenan-induced rat's paw edema model. The granuloma air pouch model was employed to evaluate the effects of MJ on chronic inflammation produced by carrageenan in rats. The number of white blood cells (WBC) in pouch exudates was estimated using light microscopy. The levels of biomarkers of oxidative stress, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and activity of antioxidant enzymes in the exudates, were determined using spectrophotometry. The membrane stabilizing property of MJ was assessed based on inhibition of hemolysis of rat red blood cells (RBC) exposed to hypotonic medium. Our results indicated that MJ (25-100 mg·kg Topics: Acetates; Animals; Anti-Inflammatory Agents; Cell Membrane; Cyclopentanes; Disease Models, Animal; Edema; Erythrocytes; Glutathione; Humans; Male; Malondialdehyde; Oxylipins; Plant Extracts; Rats; Rats, Wistar | 2017 |
