Abstract
The effect of Sho-saiko-to on the concentration of acid soluble glycop rotein in serum and on the granuloma formation in carrageenin cotton p ellet-induced rats was investigated. As a result, a significant negati ve 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 glycoprote in plays an important role in promoting the anti-inflammatory effect o f Sho-saiko-to.
