Grape pomace polyphenols versus non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in oxidative stress and inflammation.

Administrated Polyphenol NSAID Model Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects of Polyphenols Differences of Results Between Polyphenols and AINS References
RES
50 mg/kg
Diclofenac
3 mg/kg
Adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats -reduced TNF-α, IL-1β, TBARS and NOx levels;
-reduced NF-κB p65 expression;
- [128]
RES
50 mg/kg
Diclofenac
3 mg/kg
Adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats -reduced TNF-α, IL-1β, TBARS and NOx levels;
-attenuated histological changes (cartilage damage, pannus formation, cellular infiltration, synovial proliferation)
-reduced NF-κB p65 expression;
-diclofenac group decreased paw volume [129]
RES
10/50 mg/kg
Celecoxib
5 mg/kg
Adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats -reduced paw volume;
-decreased lymphocyte proliferation;
-decreased COX2 expression;
-decreased PGE2 levels;
-resveratrol exhibited similar results to celecoxib [130]
RES
100 mg/kg
Celecoxib Lipopolysaccharide induced-sepsis in rats -no significant reduction of prostaglandin plasma and kidneys levels;
-no significant reduction of mRNA MCP-1 and IL-6 levels;
-celecoxib tackle the inflammation effects compared to resveratrol [131]
RES
10 mg/kg
Ibuprofen
30 mg/kg
Experimental arthritis and periodontitis in rats -longer reduction in paw swelling;
-higher gingival IL-4 levels;
- [132]
RES
5/10 mg/kg
Etoricoxib 10 mg/kg Experimental osteoarthritis induced in rats -increased time of paw withdraw mechanical, heat and cold hyperalgesia test in RES groups;
-increased spontaneous rats’ movement in RES groups;
-decreased serum TNF-α, IL-10 levels;
-decreased serum IL-1β levels (RES 10 mg/kg);
-decreased synovial TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-1β levels;
-decreased cartilage mRNA TNF-α, IL-10 expression;
-decreased cartilage mRNA IL-1β expression (RES 10 mg/kg);
-decreased cartilage protein TNF-α, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-6, MMP-13 expression;
-decreased mRNA iNOS expression;
-decreased mRNA COX2 expression (RES 10 mg/kg);
-decreased protein iNOS, COX2 expression;
-etoricoxib manage to present same anti-inflammatory effects as RES 10 mg/kg treated group; [133]
Quercetin (75 mg/kg) Phenylbutazone (80 mg/kg) and Indomethacin (6 mg/kg) Freund’s complete adjuvant-induced arthritis; carrageenan-induced paw edema -reduced paw edema (carrageenan experiment);
-reduced paw volume in the acute phase;
-reduced paw volume in the chronic phase (days 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16)
-higher anti-inflammatory effect compared to phenylbutazone in carrageenan experiment; [134]
Quercetin (80 mg/kg) Phenylbutazone (80 mg/kg) Experimental induced-arthritis in rats -reduced paw volume in the acute phase;
-reduced paw volume in the chronic phase (day 9, 10, 14, 16, 19, 23, 26 and 30)
