Nees on pelvic inflammatory disease in rats through down-regulation of the NF-κB pathway JO - BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine SP - 483 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees (APN), a principal constituent of a famous traditional Chinese medicine Fukeqianjin tablet which is used for the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effect in vitro. However, whether it has pharmacological effect on PID in vivo is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to test the anti-inflammatory effect of APN and illuminate a potential mechanism.
