Abstract
Objective: To study the effects of anti-inflammatory medication on Indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase activity.
 Research Design: This was an investigational study.
 Methodology: Eighteen fully grown albino rats separated into control and two treated sets, both treated sets were given indomethacin (50mg/1000g) orally. For acute treatment first treated set was sacrificed after 3.5 hrs & for chronic treatment second set was sacrificed after 3 days. However, control set animals were given an equivalent amount of vehicle.
 Results: Outcomes shows that serum Indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) enzyme activity was suppressed after acute treatment while serum IDO activity were increased after chronic treatment however no significant effect was seen on brain IDO.
 Conclusion: It is concluded that indomethacin has not shown any significant effect on brain IDO. But inhibits serum IDO activity.
