Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic actions by oral administration of a perilla leaf extract in mice.
The anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activity of perilla leaf extract was investigated. The oral administration of perilla leaf extract to mice inhibited two types of acute inflammatory models, arachidonic acid-induced ear edema and 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced ear edema. Oral administration of perilla leaf extract also inhibited the contact dermatitis model, oxazolone-induced ear edema, by affecting sensitization.
