| Abstract | Anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer activities of Bramble shark (Echinorhinus brucus) liver oil were examined in rats. The oil showed significant proportion of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), the percentages of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) being 16 and 18% respectively. The study also revealed that liver oil had a very favourable n3:n6 ratio of 4.7. Oral administration of shark liver oil at 1g kg-1 concentration significantly attenuated the formalin-induced paw edema in experimental rats. It exerted potent anti-ulcer effect against acid-ethanol mixturemediated lesion formation in the rat gastric mucosa. |
