Chemical characterization of Siraitia grosvenorii granules and their efficacy and mechanism of action on PM2.5-induced acute lung injury by Qi Shao, Yan Zhao, YuYu Shi, Fafeng Cheng, ZeHan Zhang, Ying Liu, ChangXiang Li, ZiLin Ren, Hua Bai, Haojie Cheng, Rolando Maddela, Junqiang Tian, Xueqian Wang

“…Results showed that PM2.5-induced lung damage was associated with oxidative stress, suppression of PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 pathway, and increased levels of certain alarmins & cytokines in blood and bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF). However, SGG reversed these changes, particularly tissue damage and oxidative stress, suggesting that lung protection is mediated by the antioxidant effect, which mitigates the release of alarmin and inflammation.…”
