While the analgesic property was determined using the acetic acid-induced mouse writhings and hot-plate reaction time, the anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using the formalin-induced rat-paw edema. The oils examined were found to possess significant (P < 0.05) analgesic activity against acetic acid-induced writh- ings and hot-plate reaction in mice. In the formalin-induced edema, a sig- nificant (P < 0.05) inhibition of inflammation was observed between the 2nd and 4th hour showing 58-65% inhibition. These results suggest that liver oils of sharks from Indian waters are effective as analgesic and anti- inflammatory agents. The role of lipid components (squalene, alkylglycerols and polyunsaturated fatty acids) on anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties is highlighted. Inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators which probably account for the properties is discussed.","PeriodicalId":15881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Lipids","volume":"15 1","pages":"470-487"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/J.1745-4522.2008.00134.X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63564148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
