Protective Effects of Ejiao on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Mice via Modulation of the ER/AKT/NF-κB Pathway
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an irreversible inflammatory lung disease. Studies have shown that macrophages and estrogen receptors play a pivotal regulatory role in the development of COPD. Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini, CCA, or donkey-hide gelatin), a traditional Chinese medicine, has anti-inflammatory and lung function-protective effects, but its specific mechanism in COPD remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the immunomodulatory effects of Ejiao on COPD, focusing on its impact on inflammatory pathways and macrophages.
