Inhibitory effects of Spirulina in zymosan-induced arthritis in mice by Diadelis Remirez, Ricardo González, Nelson Merino, Sandra Rodriguez, Odelsa Ancheta

“…The anti-arthritic effect exerted by Spirulina as shown in this model may be at least partly due to the previously reported anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties of its constituent, phycocyanin. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the anti-inflammatory effect of Spirulina in an experimental model of arthritis.…”
