Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of Interleukin-6 Expression by Curcumin in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Explants In VitroYanti, Stephanie, Yuliani et al.In atherosclerotic plaques, infectious agents from microbes may release Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and heat shock proteins that can stimulate the production of mediators, i.e., pro-inflammatory cytokines, by vascular endothelial cells and Smooth Muscle Cells (SMCs). The elevated level of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is strongly associated with the development of atherosclerosis. Here, we investigated whether curcumin isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma longa … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2014 · 6,774 accessesView PDFCite
