Babao Dan Alleviates Cancer Cachexia in Mice Via Inhibiting IL-6/STAT3 Signaling Pathway.

Our findings demonstrated the robust ability of BBD in preventing cancer cachexia and alleviating the main cachexia-induced symptoms as well as prolonging survival via inhibiting activation of IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway. Therefore, our study demonstrating the strong anti-cachectic effects of BBD in mice may provide a theoretical basis for the use of BBD as a safe and effective drug in the treatment of cancer cachexia.
