Madecassic acid attenuates sepsis-associated acute lung injury by regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to mediate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects.
BACKGROUND Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical illness with a high mortality rate. Madecassic acid (MA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid extracted from Centella asiatica, exhibits multiple biological activities, but its role in sepsis-associated ALI remains poorly elucidated. OBJECTIVES The aim of this st...
