Forsythoside A Modulates Zymosan-Induced Peritonitis in Mice [PDF]
Molecules, 2018 Acute inflammation is a protective response of the host to physical injury and invading infection. Timely treatment of acute inflammatory reactions is essential to prevent damage to organisms that can eventually lead to chronic inflammation. Forsythoside A (FTA), an active constituent of Forsythia suspensa, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory ...

Quercetin attenuates zymosan-induced arthritis in mice
Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy, 2018 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by articular lesions, recruitment of inflammatory cells and increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine. The intra-articular administration of zymosan is an experimental model that promotes inflammatory parameters resembling RA.

TLR2 modulates inflammation in zymosan-induced arthritis in mice [PDF]
Arthritis Research, 2005 AbstractThe interplay between the innate and acquired immune systems in chronic inflammation is not well documented. We have investigated the mechanisms of inflammation in murine zymosan-induced arthritis (ZIA) in the light of recent data on the roles of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and Dectin-1 in the activation of monocyte/macrophages by zymosan.

The mechanism for the radioprotective effects of zymosan‐A in mice [PDF]
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2018 AbstractIt proved that Zymosan‐A protected the haematopoietic system from radiation‐induced damage via Toll‐Like Receptor2 in our previous study. In this study, we investigated the potential mechanism for the radioprotective effects of Zymosan‐A. The mice were treated with Zymosan‐A (50 mg/kg, dissolved in NS) via peritoneal injection 24 and 2 hours ...

Hidden attributes of zymosan in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases: A tale of the fungal agent [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2023 Inflammation triggers immune system-mediated actions that contribute to the development of multiple diseases. Zymosan, a polysaccharide derived from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall, is mainly made up of glucan and mannan residues and is used as an
