Boswellia Serrata
- Inhibits TNF-alpha-induced inflammatory response
- Inhibit enzymes [MMP] which catalyze connective tissue breakdown
- Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) inhibits NF-kappaB which activates many genes involved in inflammatory responses.
- Inhibits the formation and release of certain inflammatory leukotrienes.
- Inhibits conversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory leukotrienes.
- Reduces complement activity, known to trigger inflammatory mediators.
- Prevents the breakdown of connective tissue in inflammatory or arthritic conditions by reducing glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation.
- Reduces enzymes that are elevated in inflammatory conditions like arthritis (such as glutamic pyruvic transaminase, glycohydrolase, and beta-glucuronidase).
