Background As reported previously by our group, medium-chain triglycerides can ameliorate
atherosclerosis. Given that TLR4 is closely related to atherosclerosis, we hypothesized …

Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of caprylic acid (C8: 0) on lipid
metabolism and inflammation, and examine the mechanisms underlying these effects in …

Atherosclerosis results from chronic inflammation potentially caused by translocation of
bacterial components from the oro-gastrointestinal tract to circulation. Specific probiotics …

Adipose tissue resident macrophages play an important role in the regulation of the
inflammatory response. Monounsaturated fatty acids assist in the prevention of …

Cinnamaldehyde is a flavor isolated from the bark of Cinnamomum cassia Presl and exerts
anti-inflammation effects in various diseases. In our study, we investigated the protective …

Amygdalin, the main component of Prunus persica (L.) Stokes, has been used to treat
atherosclerosis in mouse model due to its anti-inflammatory role. However, the underlying …

Objectives: Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is the main effective water-soluble component of
Salvia miltiorrhiza. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of Sal B was explored in high-fat …

Abstract Background and Objective Systemic chronic inflammation is linked to metabolic
syndrome, type-2 diabetes, and heart disease. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a Gram negative …

Scope Palmitoleic acid (palmitoleate; C16: 1 n‐7), an omega‐7 monounsaturated fatty acid
(MUFA) found in plants and marine sources, has been shown to favorably modulate lipid …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are important anti-inflammatory metabolites of intestinal
flora. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced macrophage activation is critical for …
