Abstract:

Daintain is a macrophage inflammatory factor characterized by us. There is an intimate relationship between daintain and inflammation without direct evidence by now. In the present study, we demonstrated that daintain increased the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) and actives fibrinogen in the blood with higher blood viscosity and faster blood coagulation. The results indicated that daintain invokes inflammatory reactions in the blood directly, suggesting that daintain may be involved in cardiovascular disease.

Key words: daintain, CRP, fibrinogen, inflammation
