Abstract

In previous study, we demonstrated tilianin inhibits tumor necrotic factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) induced vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In this study, we demonstrate inhibition of the production of atherogenic cytokines and the anti-atherogenic effects of tilianin in Ldlr-/- mice.(omitted)
