Article Synopsis
- Cyperus articulatus L. (priprioca) is traditionally used in the Amazon for its aromatic properties and medicinal benefits, particularly for treating inflammatory diseases using its rhizomes.
- This study explores the phytochemistry and the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving (antinociceptive) effects of its essential oil (CAEO) through laboratory tests on cells and living mice.
- Results indicated that CAEO significantly reduced inflammatory markers in cell cultures and lowered leukocyte migration and pain responses in mice, highlighting its potential as a natural remedy for inflammation and pain.
Chronic ethanol consumption is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with higher risks to develop pulmonary infections, including infections. Mechanisms underlying increased susceptibility to infections are poorly understood. Chronic ethanol consumption induced increased mortality rates, higher burden and reduced neutrophil recruitment into the airways.

Remarkably, T. cruzi's antioxidant repertoire does not include catalase.
