Effect of steroidal saponins of Anemarrhenae rhizoma on superoxide generation in human neutrophils.

abstract：:The observation that spermine inhibits the endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS) induced production of nitric oxide (NO) in macrophages has been ascribed to the conversion of SP to active metabolites by the action of enzymes, such as diamine oxidases, found, for example, in bovine sera. Inhibitory effect is also observe...
