Mechanisms underlying transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1)-mediated hyperalgesia and edema.

Only registered users can translate articles

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms that contribute to hyperalgesia and edema induced by TRPA1 activation. The injection of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC, 50, 100, or 300 µg/paw) into the rat's hind paw induced dose and time-dependent hyperalgesia and edema, which were blocked by

Suppressive Effect of Dietary Fucoidan on Proinflammatory Immune Response and MMP-1 Expression in UVB-Irradiated Mouse Skin.

Only registered users can translate articles

It is well known that ultraviolet B irradiation leads to dermal inflammation. In this study, we found that Mekabu fucoidan suppressed edema, decreased the thickness of the prickle cell layer, and decreased matrix metalloproteinase 1 in the skin of mice irradiated with ultraviolet B. Moreover, we

Effect of fucoidan treatment on collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Inflammatory cells are postulated to mediate some of the brain damage following ischemic stroke. Intracerebral hemorrhage is associated with more inflammation than ischemic stroke. We tested the sulfated polysaccharide fucoidan, which has been reported to reduce inflammatory brain damage, in a rat

Preparation of fucoidan-chitosan hydrogel and its application as burn healing accelerator on rabbits.

Only registered users can translate articles

Treatment of dermal wounds with macromolecular agents such as natural polymers is one of the research areas of the biomaterial science. Fucoidan is a sulphated polysaccharide which is commonly obtained from seaweeds. The great number of studies on the different pharmacological properties of fucoidan

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of anti-arthritic, antioxidant efficacy of fucoidan from Undaria pinnatifida (Harvey) Suringar.

Only registered users can translate articles

Seaweed and their constituents have been traditionally employed for the management of various human pathologic conditions such as edema, urinary disorders and inflammatory anomalies. The current study was performed to investigate the antioxidant and anti-arthritic effects of fucoidan from Undaria

Low molecular weight fucoidan ameliorates streptozotocin-induced hyper-responsiveness of aortic smooth muscles in type 1 diabetes rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Low molecular weight fucoidan (LMWF) was prepared from Laminaria japonica Areschoug, a popular seafood and medicinal plant consumed in Asia. Chinese have long been using it as a traditional medicine for curing hypertension and edema. OBJECTIVE This study was intent to investigate the

Use of fucoidan to treat renal diseases: A review of 15 years of clinic studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweeds. Studies have shown that fucoidan has curative effects on the chronic renal failure, acute kidney injury, and diabetic nephropathy both in vitro and in vivo. Saccharina japonica is the most economically important brown seaweed

Low molecular weight fucoidan ameliorates hindlimb ischemic injury in type 2 diabetic rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Low molecular weight fucoidan (LMWF), extracted from Laminaria japonica Areschoug, is a traditional Chinese medicine, commonly used to alleviate edema, particularly for feet with numbness and pain. OBJECTIVE Diabetic mellitus (DM) patients are at high risk of developing peripheral

Effect and mechanism of fucoidan derivatives from Laminaria japonica in experimental adenine-induced chronic kidney disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Laminaria japonica is a popular seafood and medicinal plant in China, Chinese people use them as a traditional medicine for curing edema disease, a symptom of kidney diseases. METHODS The renal protective activity and mechanism of fucoidan derivatives was studied against adenine induced

Studies on isolation, characterization of fucoidan from brown algae Turbinaria decurrens and evaluation of it's in vivo and in vitro anti-inflammatory activities

Only registered users can translate articles

In the present study, the anti-nociception and anti-inflammatory activity of fucoidan isolated from T. Decurrens on formalin induced paw-edema in mice model were investigated. The extracted fucoidan contain 54.86% of total sugar, 23.51% of sulfate and 3.4% of protein. The monosaccharide composition

Comparative Study of Fucoidan from Saccharina japonica and Its Depolymerized Fragment on Adriamycin-Induced Nephrotic Syndrome in Rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a clinical syndrome with a variety of causes, mainly characterized by heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. At present, identification of effective and less toxic therapeutic interventions for nephrotic syndrome remains to be an important issue. In this study, we

Anti-Photoaging Effects of Low Molecular-Weight Fucoidan on Ultraviolet B-Irradiated Mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ultraviolet (UV) B exposure induces DNA damage and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes skin photoaging through signaling pathways of inflammation and modulation of extracellular matrix remodeling proteins, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP). As low molecular-weight

Effects of Bothrops asper snake venom on lymphatic vessels: insights into a hidden aspect of envenomation.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Envenomations by the snake Bothrops asper represent a serious medical problem in Central America and parts of South America. These envenomations concur with drastic local tissue pathology, including a prominent edema. Since lymph flow plays a role in the maintenance of tissue fluid

Neutrophils contribute to the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic cystitis induced by ifosfamide.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ifosfamide (IFO) is an antineoplastic drug that is commonly used to treat gynecological and breast cancers. Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a common side effect associated with IFO injection, which courses with neutrophil accumulation and affects 6-50% of patients depending on dose intensity. Here, we
