Ethanolic Extract of Garcinia kola Stem Bark Inhibits LDL-Uptake and LPS-Induced Anxa-1 and ICAM-1 Expression in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECS)
Abstract:The endothelial cells’ dysfunction linked to the development of atherosclerosis plays an important role in the regulation of inflammatory responses. Previous studies demonstrated the antiatherogenic effects of Garcinia kola seed extracts based on their lipid lowering effects. Our recent studies showed the in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the ethanolic extract of Garcinia kola stem barks (EE). For more insight on the antiatherogenic effect of EE, we investigated its activity on some key … Show more
