Article Synopsis
- Caulerpin (CLP), an alkaloid from Caulerpa algae, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, prompting this study to assess its effects on peritonitis and ulcerative colitis in mice.
- The research found that CLP doses of 40 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg effectively reduced inflammation in peritonitis, while 4 mg/kg improved health outcomes in colitis by decreasing markers like TNF-α and increasing IL-10 levels.
- Overall, the study indicates that a 4 mg/kg dose of CLP could potentially alleviate damage caused by ulcerative colitis through its anti-inflammatory effects.
