The purpose of this study was to observe the protective effects of α-boswellic acids on hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascular structural remodeling in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells in a hypertensive rat model. Pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells were cultured and then randomly divided into four groups: normoxia, hypoxia (3 % O2; 24 h), hypoxia plus α-boswellic acids, and hypoxia plus D...

Objective: Boswellia serrata is a plant with long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Growth factors their receptors are significant components the initiation progression malignancy, aberrant functioning these pathways can result unrestrained cell division expansion. Methods: In this study, an silico approach was used to exp...

Extracts from Boswellia serrata have been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity, primarily via boswellic acid-mediated inhibition of leukotriene synthesis. In three small clinical trials, boswellia was shown to improve symptoms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and because of its alleged safety, boswellia was considered superior over mesalazine in terms of a benefit-risk evaluati...

Introduction: Boswellia serrata has been used in traditional medicine for treatment of inflammatory diseases since antiquity. However human kinetic studies are lacking for this. Hence to better elucidate its effects in humans and determine its optimal dosing, this study was planned. Material and Methods: Twelve healthy adult men volunteers were given capsule Wok Vel™ containing 333 mg of Boswel...
