Resveratrol protects BV2 mouse microglial cells against LPS-induced inflammatory injury by altering the miR-146a-5p/TRAF6/NF-κB axis.

To investigate the role of miR-146a-5p in the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on inflammatory response in BV2 mouse microglial cells. BV2 cells were pretreated by RSV and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cell Viability was checked using a MTT assay.

Association of alcohol consumption and components of metabolic syndrome among people in rural China.

Background: Accumulative evidence in the literature suggests alcohol consumption is a protective factor of the metabolic syndrome (MS). However, few studies investigated the relationship between alcohol consumption and components of MS.
