Does equisetum arvense ( common horsetail ) modulate the function of inflammatory immunocompetent cells?
The data indicate that the used extract of Equisetum arvense interferes with the polyfunctionality of immunocompetent cells thereby providing an anti-inflammatory mode-of-action.
For the first time, these data assign an enzymatic activity to the important hepatic growth factor augmenter of liver regeneration protein. The finding that augmenter of liver regeneration protein acts as a FAD-linked sulfhydryl oxidase is essential to identify the molecular targets inside liver cells and to elucidate the precise role of mammalian augmenter of liver regeneration protein in hepatic cell growth, liver disease and regeneration.
