Polyarthritis
Cetyl myristoleate was isolated from Swiss albino mice that were immune to the polyarthritis induced in rats with Freund's adjuvant. This substance, or material synthesized from cetyl alcohol and myristoleic acid, afforded good protection against adjuvant-induced arthritic states in rats.
Dosage of the protective compound as well as the site of injection of Freund's adjuvant was important.
