Antiflammatory Effect of Tarenna Asiatica (l) in Carrageenan Induced Lung Inflammation

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 was estimated. From the observations result, the level of LPO ( Lipid Peroxidation) was increased and GSH (Reduced Glutothione) was decreased in carrageenan group than normal but the administration of the plant crude extract minimized this changes by its antioxidant activity. The level of Vit-C and E were decreased in Carrageenan group than normal group. The level of total protein was decreased in Carrageenan group than normal and the albumin level was decreased than normal.
