| Abstract: | In complete
freund’s adjuvant induced arthritis in male albino rats, a significant increase
in serum lipid peroxidase besides increase in paw swelling and a significant
decrease in superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and total reduced
glutathione levels were observed. Arthritin produced a marked reversal of these
enzyme levels, besides a significant reduction in paw swelling. The results
suggest that, the polyherbal formulation ‘Arthritin’ exerts its effects by
modulating lipid peroxidation and enhancing anti-oxidant and detoxifying enzyme
systems. |
