We evaluated the effect of carotenoids on the dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced contact hypersensitivity in mice. Dietary carotenoids significantly inhibited ear swelling and reduced the contents of TNF-α and histamine in the DNFB-treated mice. Our results suggest that dietary carotenoids exerted an anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing mast cell degranulation in vivo.
我们评估了类胡萝卜素对二硝基氟苯(DNFB)诱导的小鼠接触性超敏反应的影响。膳食类胡萝卜素显著抑制耳部肿胀,并降低DNFB处理小鼠中肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和组胺的含量。我们的结果表明,膳食类胡萝卜素通过抑制体内肥大细胞脱颗粒发挥抗炎作用。
