Attenuation of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury Associated with Cinnamaldehyde.
BACKGROUND Excessive neutrophil activation and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation play critical roles in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). Cinnamaldehyde, a major bioactive component of cinnamon, has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects; however, its impact on NET formation in ALI rema...
