Mechanistic Evaluation of Anti-Arthritic Effects of Campesterol Through Downregulation of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, NF-κB, MMP 3,COX I and COX II and Upregulation of IL-4
Abstract:Aims: This study has been conducted to evaluate anti arthritic effects of compesterol, a phytosterol, which has been used to treat inflammatory disorders.
