Abstract
. MHHP induced proliferation of mouse spleen lymphocytes and significantly promoted the secretion in TNF-α, IL-6 and NO production in RAW264.7 cells. Meanwhile, MHHP exhibited relatively low antioxidant abilities. Our data suggested that MHHP may have potential immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory activity, with a moderate antioxidant activity.
