It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective properties, mainly by inhibiting stress signal transduction as it suppresses Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nitric oxide synthase, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in CCl4-induced liver injury (Hsu et al. 2009; Liu et al. 2002). The gene discussed is MPO; the disease is injury.
