Abstract:Multiple beneficial effects have been reported to numerous species of Capparis genus. Among these, Capparis spinosa has exhibited several biological benefits, including anti-inflammatory hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and antidiabetic effects. Herein, C. spinosa was extracted with different solvents and the ability of these fractions to suppress nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells were assessed via Griess reagent. The effects of C. spinosa fractions on different inflammatory markers were also deter… Show more
