Abstract
Aim To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of bezafibrate on acute and subacute inflammation in adult male Wistar rats. Methods The study was carried out in adult male Wistar rats and they were allocated into three groups, that is, control, aspirin and bezafibrate, after obtaining clearance from Institutional Animal Ethics Committee. Acute inflammation was studied using carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema, and the volume displacement due to paw oedema using the plethysmograph. Subacute inflammation was studied using foreign body induced granuloma models. Analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc tests of Dunnett’s. The value p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Bezafibrate showed a significant anti-inflammatory effect in acute as well as subacute models of inflammation when compared to control in the present study. Conclusions In patients receiving bezafibrate for hyperlipidemia, its anti-inflammatory potential may have an additional benefit in preventing complication of atherosclerosis.
