Abstract:
Ostrich oil, a natural bird fat oil, has significant biological activities in preventing various pains and inflammation. The aim of the current study was to develop ostrich oil loaded nanoemulsions to check the anti-inflammatory efficacy. The developed nanoemulsions(F1-F3) were evaluated in vitro for various physicochemical parameters including thermodynamic stability, nanoemulsifying potential, mean droplet size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (ZP), viscosity (η), refractive index (RI) and transmittance (%T).Optimizednanoemulsions(F2) had mean droplet size (99.8 nm), PDI (0.084), ZP (-84.2 mV), viscosity (43.5cp), RI (1.344) and transmittance (94.1%).TEM photomicrograph of F2 nanoemulsion were spherical in shape with smooth surface, supporting DLS measured droplet size. Furthermore, anti-inflammatory activity of optimized nanoemulsion (F2) in rats was much better as compared to pure ostrich oil.

Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
