Effect of bioflavonoids on the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, hydroxylysyl glycosides and hexosamine in adjuvant arthritis. 1980

C N Rao, and V H Rao

The effects of (+)--Catechin (AC) and 0--(beta hydroxyethyl) rutosides (HR) on the urinary collagen metabolites were studied up to 49 days in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis. The elevated levels of urinary total, non-dialysable and dialysable hydroxyproline, hydroxylysyl glycosides and total hexosamine in the arthritic animals were found to be slightly decreased in the acute phase and significantly decreased in the chronic phase of the disease due to the administration of bioflavonoids. Of the two bioflavonoids tests, CA was found to afford more protective action than HR.

D006027	Glycosides	Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed. (From Dorland, 28th ed; From Miall's Dictionary of Chemistry, 5th ed)	Glycoside
D006595	Hexosamines	AMINO SUGARS created by adding an amine group to a hexose sugar.	Hexosamine
D006901	Hydroxylysine	A hydroxylated derivative of the amino acid LYSINE that is present in certain collagens.	(2S,5R)-2,6-Diamino-5-hydroxyhexanoic Acid,2,6-Diamino-5-hydroxyhexanoic Acid,5-Hydroxylysine,Lysine, 5-Hydroxy-,2,6 Diamino 5 hydroxyhexanoic Acid,5 Hydroxylysine,Lysine, 5 Hydroxy
D006909	Hydroxyproline	A hydroxylated form of the imino acid proline. A deficiency in ASCORBIC ACID can result in impaired hydroxyproline formation.	Oxyproline,4-Hydroxyproline,cis-4-Hydroxyproline,4 Hydroxyproline,cis 4 Hydroxyproline
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001169	Arthritis, Experimental	ARTHRITIS that is induced in experimental animals. Immunological methods and infectious agents can be used to develop experimental arthritis models. These methods include injections of stimulators of the immune response, such as an adjuvant (ADJUVANTS, IMMUNOLOGIC) or COLLAGEN.
