The gut microbiota metabolite urolithin A inhibits NF-κB activation in LPS stimulated BMDMs
Abstract Inflammation is a natural defense process of the innate immune system, associated with the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-12 and TNFα; and enzymes including iNOS through the activation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 due to the...
