O extrato etanólico das folhas de Baccharis dracunculifolia (Asteraceae) modula funções efetoras de neutrófilos: um promissor agente fitoterápico para o tratamento de processos inflamatórios mediados por estas células
Abstract:RibeirãoNeutrophils are phagocytic immune cells mobilized primarily to fight against infections. These cells are capable to kill microorganisms through degranulation, which leads to the release of antimicrobial molecules, and production of reactive oxygen species. Although neutrophil recruitment is essential for host protection, excessive activation of these cells culminates in intense discharge of cytotoxic molecules to the extracellular milieu, which can elicit the development of and/or aggravate the clinica… Show more
