Emu oil is derived from the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae), which originated in Australia, and has been reported to have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation was induced in anesthetized CD-1 mice by applying 50 μL of 2% croton oil to the inner surface of the left ear. After 2 h, the area was treated with 5μL of emu, fish, flaxseed, olive, or liquified chicken fat, or left untreated. Animals were euthanized at 6 h postapplication of different oils, and earplugs (FP) and plasma samples were…

It is suggested that emu oil does not reduce the phagocytic clearance rate of inflammatory matter; however, it does reduce the production of NO and TNF-α in macrophages and these latter products enhance the inflammatory response and emU oil thereby demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties.
Emu Oil Reduces Small Intestinal Inflammation in the Absence of Clinical Improvement in a Rat Model of Indomethacin-Induced Enteropathy

EO reduced acute intestinal inflammation, whereas other parameters of Indomethacin-induced intestinal injury were not affected significantly, and increased EO dose and/or frequency of administration could potentially improve clinical efficacy.

It is suggested that emu oil might promote wound healing by accelerating the growth rate of keratinocytes and combined with anti-inflammatory properties, ratite oil may serve as a useful component in bandages and ointments for the treatment of wounds and inflammatory skin conditions.

Treatment with either 10 or 50 micrograms bilobol twice a week for 30 weeks did not result in any tumor development, thus suggesting that bilOBol is not a complete promoter of skin carcinogenesis, despite generation of inflammation.

Data indicate that bone resorption stimulated by bacterial infection is primarily mediated by IL-1 alpha in this model, and the similarity of cytokines in active and chronic lesions suggests that quantitative rather than qualitative differences in these mediators may account for lesion progression.
