The researchers wanted to see if Qingkailing could protect the heart from damage caused by endotoxemia. They gave different doses of Qingkailing to mice and then injected them with a substance that causes inflammation. They found that mice given Qingkailing had lower levels of inflammatory factors and free radicals in their hearts compared to those not given Qingkailing. This suggests that Qingkailing can help protect the heart from injury caused by endotoxemia.
