Abstract:Objective: To study action of Cryptoporus volvatus ferment substance ( CVFS ) on leukotriene production of poly-morphonuclear leukocytes in rats. Methods: The level of slow reaction substance (SRS) and leukotriene B4 ( LTB4) in polymor-phonuclear leukocytes ( PMNs ) in rats in vitro were determined with bioassay and HPLC. Results: CVFS0.9, 2.7 g·kg-1 by ig significantly inhibited SRS and LTB4 production in PMNs in rats in vivo. Conclusion: The inhibition effect of CVFS on SRS and LTB4 release may be related to its mechanism of anti-inflammation and anti-asthma.
