Other studies reported that protein-bound anthocyanin compounds from purple sweet potato reduced the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthases and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by LPS [41], and Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside attenuated acute lung injury in sepsis rats through suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway [42]. Here, TNF is linked to Sepsis.
