METHODS
Ninety-eight healthy
Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides (ABP), extracted from the root of Achyranthes bidentata, induced interleukin-1 (IL-1) synthesis as well as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) synthesis and secretion from thioglycolate-primed mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro. ABP 100-800
Objective. Achyranthes aspera Linn. (AA) is used in folklore for the treatment of various inflammatory ailments and arthritis like conditions. Anti-inflammatory activity of saponin rich (SR) fraction of AA has been previously reported. The objective of this study was to assess the antiarthritic

BACKGROUND
Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) plays pivotal roles in inflammation. Src and Syk are two tyrosine kinases that act upstream of NF-κB signaling. Although Achyranthes aspera L. (A. aspera) has been used as a traditional medicine to treat fevers and inflammatory ailments and heal wounds, the
Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides (ABP), extracted from the root of Achyranthes bidentata Blume, 25-100mg.kg-1.d-1 x 7 could inhibit tumor growth by 31%-40%. Combination of cyclophosphamide (Cy) and ABP increased the rate of tumor growth inhibition to 58%. ABP 50 and 100% mg/kg ip could
Activated microglia play a critical role in regulating neuroinflammatory responses in central nervous system. Previous studies have shown that Achyranthes bidentata polypeptide k's (ABPPk's) neuroprotective effects are partly due to its anti-inflammatory effect, but the mechanism
BACKGROUND
In the traditional system of Indian medicine, the whole plant and roots of Achyranthes aspera L have been extensively used to treat neurological conditions such as epilepsy and stroke by the various ethnic communities of India.

We investigated the effect of chikusetsusaponin IVa (CS) and chikusetsusaponin IVa methyl ester (CS-ME) from the roots of Achyranthes japonica NAKAI on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in RAW264.7 macrophages. CS-ME more potently inhibited
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharide (ABP) on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immune function, relative organ weight, ileal microflora, and meat quality in Pekin ducks. A total of 1,200 female 1-day-old Pekin ducklings (51.2 ± 0.2 g) were
