Fish oil which contains omega 3 with the most types of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) has the effect of pharmacology as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and is good for heart disease where probably it can be used beneficially as an analgesic. Analgesics have several side effects including gastric ulcer, bleeding, even Steven Johson’s Syndrome, have been attributed to their use. This research aims to determine the analgesic effect of fish oil on male white mice induced to produced peripheral pain. We used acetic acid-induced male BALB/c white mice to investigate analgesic effect fish oil in vivo by Writhing method. From this research, fish oil decreased writhings number in mice dose 5, 10, 20 and 30 mg/kg compared to negative control (P<0.001). The percentage inhibition of writhing at the dose 30 mg/kg is the hignest among other dose (42.64%), while in the group positive control (acetylsalysilic acid 100 mg/kg) is 68.26%. We concluded that fish oil has analgesic effect which reduced writhings in male mice induced by acetic acid to produce peripheral pain.

In the present study, we investigated the antinociceptive effects of the plant Vigna unguiculata spp dekindtiana using chemical and thermal tests in mice. The peripheral and the central analgesic activities of the methanol extract and its fractions were investigated in-vivo in albino mice using acetic acid induced-writhing test and hot plate models respectively. The result of the central analgesic effect showed that the methanol extract (VUME) at 400 mg/kg produced a significant (p<0.05) delay in reaction time in mice on hot plate compared to the control. Various fractions of the extract showed more potency compared to the crude extract. In acetic writhing model, the extract and the fractions demonstrated dose dependent reduction in writhing reaction induced by acetic acid in mice. The reduction was significant when compared to control which was suggestive of the analgesic effect of the plant. It was also seen that the extract and fractions showed an improved analgesic effect compared to diclofenac used as positive control in this model. Yohimbine (alpha adrenergic receptor antagonist) and cyproheptadine (serotonergic receptor antagonist) reversed the antinociceptic effect of the fractions in the hot plate model demonstrating the possibility of adrenergic and serotonergic involvement in eliciting the analgesic effect. Naloxone on the other hand, caused a reversal only in the butanol fraction meaning that this fraction may contain active principles that may mediate their analgesic effect through the opioid mechanism. In the writhing test, yohimbine abolished the analgesic effect of both hexane and butanol fractions. This may therefore, suggest that the analgesic effect of these fractions may be mediated through adrenergic pathway. In conclusion, the plant V. unguiculata subspecies dekindtiana possesses active principles with potential analgesic activity, establishing the folkloric use of the plant in managing pain.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the world’s third most cancer and the second highest mortality rate. The searching for new anti-inflammation substances with less adverse effects than aspirin for chemoprevention and adjuvant chemotherapy of CRC is running. The most notable one is fish oil containing omega 3. Kusmardi, et al. studied that industrial waste fish oil omega-3 level comes close enough to conventional fish oil industry. Study aims to reducing the level IL-6 on mice colon tissue being induced CRC using AOM/DSS by fish oil administration. Thirty male Swiss Webster mice are grouped into six treatments: positive control (aspirin), negative control (physiological saline), normal, high dose (fish oil 6mg/kgBW), medium dose (fish oil 3mg/kgBW), dan solvent control (corn oil). Colon tissue was stained using anti IL-6 antibody. Ten photos per slide were taken by microscope (400x), analyzed for the IL-6 expression by ImageJ®, and quantified for H-score. Data was analyzed using SPSS 24.0 (CI 95%) and p-value <0.05 is consider significant. Data are not normally distributed with median of 161.64 (119.4-260.67). Kruskal-Wallis test is significant in addition with Mann-Whitney test shows only high dose group has significant difference to negative control (p=0.008), medium dose (p=0.016) dan and solvent control (p=0.008). No significant difference reported between high dose and positive control group (p=0.69). High dose industrial waste fish oil can lower IL-6 expression in mice colon tissue induced CRC using AOM/DSS.

The rapid growth of motor vehicles use, together with poor waste disposal, produce environmental and biological threats. We evaluated the genotoxicity and enzyme activity of simulated automobile waste leachate in Swiss albino male mice (Mus musculus). Four mice per group were intraperitoneally treated with four leachate concentrations (10%, 15%, 20% and 25% v/v: simulant (IOASL)/distilled water), as well as a negative control (0.5mL UILSL); and a positive control (cyclophosphamide 20mg/Kg body weight) for five consecutive days. There was a concentration-dependent increase in sperm abnormality compared to the negative control (except at 10% and 15%; p<0,05). Heavy metal (Pb, Cd, As, Hg, Cr, Cu, Fe and Zn) exceeded permissible limits for waste water. Significant variability was also recorded in liver serum enzyme activity (AST, ALP, ALT and ALB) and in the frequencies of micronuclei (p<0,05). The interaction of some of these components with the genetic constitution of the cell during spermatogenesis might be responsible for the abnormalities.

ObjectivesThe objective of the current study was to determine the efficacy of dipping pork trimmings in acetic acid on Salmonella reduction.Materials and MethodsPork loins were purchased from a commercial purveyor and trimmed of external fat and connective tissues, leaving only the longissimus muscle, which was further cut into 2.5 cm (W) × 2.5 cm (L) × 1.3 cm (H) cubes. Pork cubes were randomly assigned to a negative control (no inoculation, no dipping; NEG), a positive control (inoculation, no dipping; POS), acetic acid dipping at 21°C (ACC) and acetic acid dipping at 50°C (ACH) with a 15-, 45-, or 75-s dipping duration (n = 10 per treatment × time combination). Two inoculation levels, 108 Colony Forming Unit (CFU)/cube of bioluminescent gene-modified (Lux) or 105 CFU/cube of nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella enteritica serovar Typhimurium, were inoculated onto pork cubes to determine the antibacterial effects of each treatment condition by in vivo bioluminescence imaging system (IVIS) or direct CFU measurement on XLD agar, respectively. In Experiment 1, the cubes were dipped for 15 s to measure the reduction effects by employing both IVIS and CFU. In Experiment 2, cubes were dipped with three dipping durations and the CFU were calculated. The common logarithm of Lux and CFU were calculated and analyzed by the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS v9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Actual probability values were reported.ResultsIn Experiment 1, at 108 inoculation level, ACC and ACH reduced the growth of Salmonella by 1.8 and 1.6 log, respectively (P < 0.001) without treatment difference (P = 0.207). However, at 105 inoculation level, ACC and ACH reduced Salmonella by 0.2 and 0.3 log, respectively (P ≤ 0.026). In Experiment 2, at 105 inoculation level with three dipping durations, the ACH treatment reduced Salmonella by 0.9 log more than the ACC treatment (P < 0.001). The 75-s dipping duration was the most effective, providing a reduction of 0.7-log more than the 15-s duration (P = 0.001). No 2-way treatment × time interaction was observed (P = 0.104).ConclusionThe present study suggests that the pork trimmings be dipped into 3% acetic acid solution at 50°C for at least 75 s to ensure the safety of further processed pork products.

<p>Fish oil has been studied for medicinal purposes, including its antipyretic properties. Eel (<em>Anguilla bicolor bicolor</em>) oil, which contains vitamins and fatty acids, including Omega-3 (EPA and DHA), is also expected to have the antipyretic effect. This research aimed to examine the antipyretic activity of eel oil on white mice (<em>Mus musculus</em> L.). An in-vivo study was done on thirty Swiss-Webster strain males mice that previously got 20% yeast-induced fever. Six treatments were applied including normal group (untreated), a negative control group (yeast-treated), a positive control group treated with acetaminophen (1.764 mg/20 g body weight), and three groups treated with eel oil (0.048, 0.096 and 0.192 g/20 g body weight, respectively). The data was analyzed statistically using one way ANOVA then was continued with LSD post hoc test. The results showed that eel oil has significantly reduced yeast-induced hyperthermia on mice five hours after application at doses 0.096 and 0.192 g/20 g body weight. Our finding suggests that eel oil possess antipyretic properties when was applied in certain doses, and this effect is presumably attributed to its high content of fatty acid, including EPA and DHA.</p>
