- The study investigates the effects of the plant steroid 20-hydroxyecdysterone (20E) and Leuzea carthamoides extracts on NF-κB activation, a crucial component in immune responses and cell behavior.
- Findings reveal that while 20E can inhibit NF-κB activation, it is less effective than other compounds, and not all Leuzea extracts act similarly; some extracts with lower 20E content inhibit NF-κB much more effectively.
- The results suggest that 20E may not be the main factor for NF-κB modulation in Leuzea extracts, raising concerns about the safety and consistency of these marketed products, especially regarding their interaction with
