Vinpocetine Suppresses Inflammatory and Oxidative Machineries in Acute Model of Inflammation-Pivotal Role of COX-2 Signaling

The presence of inflammation is one of the key factors in the onset and progression of various medical disorders and diseases, making it a crucial challenge for treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Vinpocetine, using acute models of infl...
