We have studied the in vivo effects of carrageenan and trypan blue on the adoptive immunotherapy of an established local and disseminated syngeneic mouse FBL-3 lymphoma. Mice receiving 500 rads total-body irradiation before injection of FBL-3 tumor into the footpad were treated 4 to 5 days later when a palpable local tumor and disseminated metastases were present. Injection of in vivo immune ly...

BACKGROUND Biorefineries serve to efficiently utilize biomass and their by-products. Algal biorefineries are designed to generate bioproducts for commercial use. Due to the high carbohydrate content of algal biomass, biorefinery to generate biofuels, such as bioethanol, is of great interest. Carrageenan is a predominant polysaccharide hydrocolloid found in red macroalgae and is widely used in f...

A novel biohybrid hydrogel nanocomposite made of natural polymer carrageenan and gelatin protein were developed. The silver nanoparticles prepared using the as reduction capping agent. Here, Ag/Carrageenan was combined with glutaraldehyde having a cross-link role in order to create nanocomposite. manufactured composite performances anaylised by UV–visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform infrare...

Abstract Indonesian love beef meatballs. However, meatballs have a high saturated fat content and are expensive. Tilapia fish can replace meatballs’ primary protein source. tilapia has low fillet yield of 20-30%, producing 65-89% waste. The use whole in the production balls increase benefits calcium- phosphorus-rich by-products. Osteoporosis-prone individuals need calcium foods. Notwithstanding...

In this study, the effect of different hydrocolloid combination and storage period on physicochemical, textural sensory characteristics keşkül, a dairy dessert, was determined. Guar gum-xanthan gum, carrageenan-guar gum carrageenan-xanthan combinations were assessed as in keşkül production. Some textural, properties determined days 1, 5 10 storage. Keşkül samples containing carrageenan had high...

The adipose tissue-derived protein, adiponectin, has significant anti-inflammatory properties in a variety of disease conditions. Recent evidence that adiponectin and its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) are expressed in central nervous system, suggests that it may also have a central modulatory role in pain and inflammation. This study set out to investigate the effects of exogenously applied r...

BACKGROUND Celecoxib exerted analgesic effects (hypoalgesia) reversed by opioid receptor antagonists in a model of inflammatory pain. To analyze this celecoxib-induced hypoalgesia further, we assessed the effects of several disruptors of cytoskeletal components in our model of inflammation. METHODS Hyperalgesia to mechanical stimuli was induced in rat hind paws by intraplantar injection of ca...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of clomipramine in carrageenan- and lipopolysaccharide-induced (LPS-induced) models of inflammation by investigating the changes in serum levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β after single and repeated administration of the drug. In order to study the effect of s...

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors related to retinoid, steroid, and thyroid hormone receptors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of the PPARreceptor on the development of acute inflammation. To address this question, we used two animal models of acute inflammation (ca...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to further investigate the effect of amitriptyline, a classical tricyclic antidepressant, on carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. METHODS First, amitriptyline was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg kg-1, 30 min before subplantar injection of carrageenan. Second, amitriptyline was given intracerebroventriculary or intra...
