Immuno-enhancing effects of fruit of Actinidia polygama in macrophages

In this study, we evaluated the functionality of water extracts from the fruit of Actinidia polygama (APF) in macrophages. The APF is a medicinal plant belonging to Actinidiaceae, it has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hypouricemic activities. However, the potential mechanism...
