After feeding period of 15 days, fish were anesthetized with clove oil at a concentration of 100 mg.L-1 to be injected with
carrageenin in the swim bladder, according to Dotta et al.
Hyperplastic mucosal changes in the rabbit colon produced by degraded
carrageenin. Gastroenterology 59:760-768 (1970).
Using an eyedropper, drop one of the colors onto the
carrageenin bath to check flotation and spreadability.
RESULTS: There was significant reduction in the amount of rat paw volume in
carrageenin model, i.e.
The sub-plantar injection of
carrageenin induced paw edema in group 1st rats (control) which was measured in terms of volume (ml) as 0.26 -+ 0.01, 0.84 -+ 0.09, 0.94 -+ 0.06 and 0.79 -+ 0.11 at 1, 2, 3 and 4 h respectively.
In order to determine the effects of the addition of probiotic bacteria on the inflammatory and hematological response in Nile tilapia, fish were fed diets containing Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from tilapia after
carrageenin or saline injection in the swim bladder.
0.1ml of 1% freshly prepared suspension of
carrageenin was administered into the sub-planter region of the right hind paws to lead to the formation of edema in situ due to localized inflammation.
Carrageenin induced inflamattion in Piaractus Mesopotamicus (Osteichthyes: Characidae) cultured in Brazil.
In Brazil, Matushima and Mariano (1996) injected
carrageenin in the swim bladder of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) and demonstrated an inflammatory reaction composed of vascular congestion, thrombocytes, rare granulocytes and oedema.
Carrageenin (1% in 0.9% saline) and tramadol were obtained from Yarrow Chem Products Ltd.
Carrageenin induced hind paw inflammation is a neutrophil-mediated acute inflammatory response that produce hind paw swelling, erythema and localized hyperthermia (15).
