Macrophage activation by polysaccharide isolated from Astragalus membranaceus
International Immunopharmacology, 2005We show that APS, a polysaccharide isolated from the roots of Astragalus membranaceus, significantly induces nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) transcription through the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB/Rel (NF-kappaB/Rel). In vivo administration of APS induced NO production by peritoneal macrophages of B6C3F1 mice.
