Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Oxidant Effects of Korean Ginseng Berry Extract in LPS-Activated RAW264.7 Macrophages

Jiha Byun et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the protective effects of Korean ginseng berry extract (KGB) on LPS-induced inflammation and found that KGB can inhibit cytokine production, reduce expression of inflammation-related genes, and decrease oxidative stress through multiple pathways. These results suggest that KGB may have the potential to be a therapeutic agent for inflammatory and oxidative stress-related diseases.

Systemic Review on the Pathogenicity of Plasmodium berghei in the Liver and Spleen of the Experimental Mice

Haleema H. Albohiri et al.

Summary: Malaria remains a widespread tropical and parasitic disease globally, causing significant morbidity and mortality in resource-poor countries despite efforts to combat the disease. Research on the biology of the malaria parasite in humans, the pathogenesis of malaria, and the immune defense mechanisms against infection is ongoing. Animal models, particularly Plasmodium berghei infection in Swiss Webster mice, provide insights into severe malaria infection processes and human defense mechanisms.
