Abstract
In the in vivo experiments involving administration of CMG to rats with experimentally induced adjuvant arthritis (AA) a substantial decline of the level of plasmatic carbonyls, a parameter indicating oxidative tissue damage during the progress of arthritic diseases, was observed. We assume that radical-scavenging properties of CMG can be responsible for its antioxidant activity in the AA model, suggesting possible application of the yeast glucan derivatives in the treatment of arthritis.
