Mechanisms involved in the anti-inflammatory action of a polysulfated fraction from Gracilaria cornea in rats.

Mechanisms involved in the anti-inflammatory action of a polysulfated fraction from Gracilaria cornea in rats.

The anti-inflammatory mechanisms of the sulfated polysaccharidic fraction obtained from red marine alga Gracilaria cornea (Gc-FI) were investigated using a paw edema model induced in rats by different inflammatory agents (carrageenan, dextran, serotonin, bradykinin, compound 48/80 or L-arginine).
