Functional Exploration of Desmarestia ligulate and Anti-inflammatory Activity of Functional Substance D-mannuronic acid

This study was conducted to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of Desmarestia ligulate (D. ligulate) leaf. The effects on cell viability and anti-inflammatory activities of D. ligulata leaf extract, as well as those of D-mannuronic acid (DMA), on RAW 264.7 cells (macrophages) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) during inflammation-induced stress were analyzed by determining the levels of NO, IL-17, IL-4, and TNF-α using ELISA...
