Arctium lappa L. roots inhibit the intestinal inflammation of dietary obese rats through TLR4/NF-κB pathway.
Long-term consumption of L. root powder (ARP) leads to weight loss. ARP inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, down-regulates genes involved in TLR4 complexes, and reduces inflammation in the colons of obese rats. ARP has potential in improving intestinal health and treating obesity.
