Oral administration of polyphenol-rich Sargassum horneri suppresses particulate matter exacerbated airway inflammation in murine allergic asthma: Relevance to the TLR mediated NF-κB pathway inhibition

Particulate matter (PM) is known to exacerbate airway inflammatory responses in asthma patients and to worsen asthma symptoms. Hypothesizing that attenuating airway inflammation might delay the exacerbation of PM-induced asthma symptoms, we investigated polyphenol-containing Sargassum horneri extrac...
