title: The effect of sho-saiko-to on the concentration of acid soluble glycoprotein in serum and on granuloma formation in carrageenin cotton pellet-induced granuloma rats.
abstract: The effect of sho-saiko-to on the concentration of acid soluble glycoprotein in serum and on the granuloma formation in carrageenin cotton pellet-induced rats was investigated. As a result, a significant negative correlation between the concentration of acid soluble glycoprotein and granuloma weight was observed. Furthermore, both the concentration of acid soluble glycoprotein and the inhibition rate of the granuloma formation were significantly higher in the sho-saiko-to group than in the control group. These results suggest that acid soluble glycoprotein plays an important role in promoting the anti-inflammatory effect of sho-saiko-to.
