This extract, orally administered at 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg at 96, 72, 48, 24, and 2 h before intestinal inflammation induction, showed anti-inflammatory effects associated with increased IL-10 synthesis, reduced oxidative stress, and reduction in the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and inflammatory response.
