6-Gingerol-treated mice showed significantly lower mortality in polymicrobial sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture LPS via enhanced bacterial clearance in the peritoneum, blood, and organs (liver, spleen, and kidney) and inhibited the production of TNF-α and IL-6 in TLR2 and/or TLR4-stimulated macrophages. Here, IL6 is linked to Sepsis.
