Abstract
We have studied the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) in two standard models of acute and chronic inflammation in the rat, i.e. carrageenin oedema and adjuvant arthritis. Our results show that HA was able to inhibit, in a dose-related fashion, both types of inflammatory reactions. These findings suggest that HA may have a modulatory role in the inflammatory process and may explain, at least in part, the protective role of HA in the inflammatory cartilage damage.Entities:
