Resum
The principal aim of this work was to optimize and apply a zebrafish experimental model for the screening of anti-inflammatory substances present in the Mediterranean diet. The zebrafish is an organism widely used in various fields of experimental biology. The inflammation is easily inducible, reproducible and visualized in their early stages of development. Specifically, the migration of neutrophils to the injured caudal fin, one of the first steps of the inflammatory response, is quantitatively measured by image analysis. The anti-inflammatory effect of natural compounds can be evaluated as a decrease of migration. Adverse effects triggered by inflammation are mainly mediated by reactive oxygen species. The anti-oxidant activity of compounds was evaluated in zebrafish embryo measuring their protective effect against tert-butyl hydroperoxide toxicity. Several phenolic compounds have been assayed. Our results showed that the compounds with the greatest decrease on neutrophil migration were chlorogenic acid and cyanidin. The activity of these two polyphenols was quite similar to that observed with anti-inflammatory drugs (indomethacin, piroxicam) and NADPH oxidase inhibitor compounds (dibenzoidolium, apocynin). The anti-inflammatory and the anti-oxidant activity of the assayed polyphenols did not show a clear correlation.
