Apigenin inhibits tumor necrosis factor α-induced cell proliferation and prostaglandin E2 synthesis by inactivating NFκB in endometriotic stromal cells

Apigenin suppressed tumor necrosis factor a-induced cell proliferation and prostaglandin E2 expression via the attenuation of nuclear factor kappa B pathway in endometriotic stromal cells in vitro. Apigenin reduced the mitogenic activity and inflammatory reaction in endometriotic stromal cells. (Fertil Steril (R) 2011;95:1518-21. (C) 2011 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.)
