<i>In vivo</i>anti-inflammatory effect of a sulfated polysaccharide isolated from the marine brown algae<i>Lobophora variegata</i>

Abstract

The anti-edematogenic effect of SP-Lv seems to occur via inhibition of nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase activities. These results suggest a potential applicability of polysaccharides from alga origin in acute inflammatory conditions.
