Abstract: |
Foot inflammation is a medical condition that refers to a localized
or systemic response of the body's tissues triggered by injury, infection,
or irritation. It's a natural defence mechanism involving the release of
chemicals, white blood cells, and increased blood flow to the affected
area. Common indicators of foot inflammation include redness, warmth,
pain, and swelling. Various factors, such as trauma, infections,
autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions like arthritis, can lead
to inflammation. This study aimed to assess the impact of different
concentrations of cayenne pepper on hind paw edema inflammation in
adult male albino rats. Twenty-five white male albino rats, averaging
220±5 grams each, were divided into 5 groups, with 5 rats in each group.
Over a 28-day period, the rats were fed diets containing cayenne pepper
powdered blends at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5%, respectively.
Additionally, inflammation was induced by injecting formalin at a
concentration of 0.1 ml/kg/body weight. Formalin injection resulted in a
notable decrease in, HDL levels and a significant increase in ESR,TC,
TG, VLDL, LDL, uric acid, creatinine, and urea levels. However, the
results showed an improvement in all these parameters for rats with foot
inflammation that were fed various experimental diets. The most effective
diet was the one containing 7.5% cayenne pepper, suggesting that it
produced the best therapeutic outcomes.
