Sample information of multiple sclerosis:

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 25150364 |
| Year | 2014 |
| Title | Astragalosides from Radix Astragali benefits experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in C57BL /6 mice at multiple levels |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Result | However, it decreased IFNγ (p < 0.01), TNFα (p < 0.01) and IL6 (p < 0.05) levels. |
| Mechanism/pathway | Deficiency of p53 increases the severity of EAE possibly by elongating the survival of inflammatory cells in the CNS, therefore, enhancing the production of pro inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ. |
