The induction of cytokine gene expression in murine peritoneal macrophages by Pseudostellaria heterophylla.

abstract：CONTEXT:Foeniculum vulgare (F. vulgare) is traditionally used to treat inflammatory diseases. Recently, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of methanol extract of the fruits of F. vulgare were reported. To identify biologically active compounds responsible for the anti-inflammatory activity, we isolated four c...
