| 1 | To explore further the mechanism of the suppression for inflammation, we studied the effect of the alkaloids on macrophage tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) production in vitro, since TNF-alpha is recognized as a pivotal cytokine to regulate inflammation. | Alkaloids | tumor necrosis factor | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | From these results, it was concluded that these alkaloids exert inhibitory effects not only on neutrophil apoptosis-inducing protein, calprotectin, but also on macrophage TNF-alpha production. | Alkaloids | tumor necrosis factor | Rattus norvegicus |
