Anti-inflammatory effect of chaya extracts fractions
Patients with Type 2 diabetes often experience chronic inflammation due to the overexpression of NF-kB-regulated pro-inflammatory proteins, such as TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1. Chaya (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) extracts have been reported to decrease this expression, but fractions of these extracts have not been studied. The present work focused on determining the anti-inflammatory effect of fr... (Source: Journal of Medicinal Plants Research)
