Treatment with HYA and C4S limited the erosive action of the disease in the articular joints of knee and paw, reduced lipid peroxidation, restored the endogenous antioxidants reduced glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase, decreased plasma TNF-α levels, and limited synovial neutrophil infiltration.

Evidence is provided that lipid peroxidation inhibition restores wound healing to nearly normal levels in experimental diabetes-impaired wounds and normalizes the defect in VEGF regulation associated with diabetes-induced skin-repair disorders.

This work has investigated the contribution of hypericin and flavonoids to the antidepressant effects of hypericum and found that these compounds have antidepressant properties.
Hyaluronan differently modulates TLR-4 and the inflammatory response in mouse chondrocytes.

It is suggested that HA may modulate proinflammatory cytokines via its different degree of polymerization and inflammatory action may be modulated as a result of the interaction between HA and TLR-4.
Leptin increases serotonin turnover by inhibition of brain nitric oxide synthesis.

The results indicate that the L-arginine/NO pathway is involved in mediating leptin effects on feeding behavior, and demonstrate that nNOS activity is required for the effects of leptin on brain 5-HT turnover.
Molecular size hyaluronan differently modulates toll-like receptor-4 in LPS-induced inflammation in mouse chondrocytes.

The results of this study give further support to the hypothesis that GAGs actively participate in the regulation of inflammatory and apoptotic processes.
