(Zexie), Carthamus tinctorius L. (Honghua), Polygonatum adnatum S.Yun Liang (Yuzhu), Citrus reticulata Blanco (Chenpi), Ramulus Cinnamomi (Guizhi), and Semen Lepidii/Semen Descurainiae (Tinglizi), can reduce the inflammatory response in a rat model of myocardial infarction through inhibiting the activity of NF-κB, which is mainly by reducing the expression of NF-κB p65 in the nucleus and the phosphorylation of IκB (32). Here, NFKB1 is linked to myocardial infarction.
