CXCL8 and intestinal obstruction: Dachenqi decoction can inhibit the production of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α to achieve anti-inflammatory effects, rapidly reduce blood lipids by blocking the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ pathway (Liu et al., 2020), and reduce blood lipids by lowering the levels of serum diamine oxidase (DAO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) and elevating the gastric motility factor (MTL) for the treatment of intestinal obstruction (Gai et al., 2023).
