Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the anti-inflammatory effects of the ethyl acetate fraction from pomegranate leaves (EAFPg) on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in a mouse model.
  • Male Swiss mice were treated with varying doses of EAFPg or dexamethasone before LPS exposure, and results showed that EAFPg significantly reduced neutrophil accumulation and collagen deposition in the lungs.
  • Additionally, EAFPg and kaempferol decreased nitric oxide production and cytokine expression in cultured macrophages, indicating potential therapeutic value for EAFPg in treating lung inflammation.
