There are various components to an inflammatory reaction that can contribute to the associated symptoms and tissue

polysaccharide isolated from Ulva fasciata was analysed by carrageenan induced acute paw Oedema and formalin induced
chronic paw Oedema. The isolated polysaccharide showed anti-inflammatory activity.
