Abstract

This observational report prompted us to review the literature on the biological effects of aspartame. Since there were only two studies reporting the anti-inflamatory effects of aspartame, it was considered worthwhile to conduct the present study. “Inhibition of formalin-induced ascites in mice” was selected as the experimental model since anti-inflamatory effects have not been studied in this model so far.
