| pubmed-article:6533412 | pubmed:abstractText | The administration of rough hydrophilic extract of Eryngium maritimum L. to intact rats inhibits carrageenin induced paw oedema, but it is inactive against cotton pellet granuloma; moreover, the extract does not reduce the weight of thymus, adrenals and spleen. These data show that the anti-inflammatory effect of E. maritimum extract is unlikely to be produced by a steroid-like compound or to be a consequence of adrenal stimulation. Further fractionation of total hydrophilic extract showed that the anti-inflammatory activity is retained by a sub-alkaline fraction. | lld:pubmed |
