Oenothein B Suppresses Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-Induced Inflammation in the Mouse Brain [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 Oenothein B has been recently evaluated for its ability to affect inflammatory responses in peripheral tissues. In this study, we examined its effect on the damage to the central nervous system due to systemic inflammation. For this purpose, ICR mice were injected with an intraperitoneal (i.p.) dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 1 mg/kg mouse).
