Influence of Eryngium foetidum L. on Inflammatory Cell Factors of Pleuritics Rat Model / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Pleuritis rat model was adopted to observe the influence of Eryngium foetidun L . on in- flammatory cell factors (TNF-a, IL- 6 and NO) . The results showed that Eryngium foetidum L. can decrease the contents of TNF-a , IL- 6 and NO in serum. It is indicated that the anti- inflam- matory effect of Eryngium foetidum L. is probably related to the decrease of the contents of the above factors.
