Abstract: To study the anti-inflammatory effect of wheat grass juice in albino rats. Anti-inflammatory activity of wheat grass juice was evaluated by using carrageenin-induced rat hind paw edema model for acute study, rexin pellet-induced granuloma in rat model and formalin-induced rat hind paw edema model for chronic study.  The results obtained were compared with diclofenac Sodium, standard drug and control. Wheat grass produced significant anti-inflammatory effect in chronic models. In rexin pellet model, the effect of wheatgrass was more than diclofenac sodium. In formalin-induced rat hind paw edema model, the effect of wheat grass was less than diclofenac sodium. However, the wheat grass juice showed no significant anti-inflammatory activity in acute models Wheat grass juice exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in chronic inflammation.
