Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the anti-inflammatory effects of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) using a mouse model of acute peritonitis, assessing behavioral scores and organ damage while measuring inflammatory cytokines.
- Results show that LBP pretreatment reduces inflammation, lowers behavioral scores in mice, and protects against liver and intestine damage, indicating its potential therapeutical benefits.
- The research highlights LBP's ability to regulate inflammatory responses in macrophages by inhibiting key inflammatory pathways, suggesting that plant-derived compounds like LBP could be promising alternatives to expensive synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs.
