Lactucopicrin Inhibits Cytoplasmic Dynein-Mediated NF-κB Activation in Inflammated Macrophages and Alleviates Atherogenesis in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice.

Dietary lactucopicrin inhibits atherogenesis in mice likely by its anti-inflammatory property. These findings suggest that dietary supplementation with lactucopicrin is a promising strategy to inhibit atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
