Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. We hypothesized that nagilactone B (NLB), a small molecule extracted from the root bark of Podocarpus nagi (Podocarpaceae), suppresses atherosclerosis in an atherosclerotic mouse model. METHODS AND RESULTS: Male apoE-deficient mice on C57BL/6J background received NLB (10 and 30 mg/kg) for 12 weeks....
