Researchers from the National Yang-Ming University School of Medicine in Taiwan found that baicalein, a compound present in Chinese skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis), can inhibit production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and regulate pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling elements. The study was published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
The researchers concluded that baicalein can help with the symptoms of lung injury after being induced with myocardial I/R.
