Preventive Effect of Upland Pigmented Potatoes Against LPS‐Induced Inflammation in THP‐1 Macrophages

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
The anti‐inflammatory activity of extracts from three commercial potato varieties cultivated upland was investigated on THP‐1 macrophages insulted with LPS. While the chlorogenic acid (CGA)‐rich extract from Kennebec reduced inflammation only at supraphysiological doses, carotenoid‐rich Desirèe and anthocyanin (ACN)‐rich Bleuet decreased TNF‐α, IL‐1β ...
