To determine whether lotus plumule supplementation alleviates acute systemic inflammation in vivo, the BALB/c mice were continuously supplemented with lotus plumule for 3 weeks, following administration with an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a concentration of 10 mg/kg body weight (BW) to induce acute systemic inflammation. At 24 h after injection of LPS, the mice were sacrificed and the visceral organ weight and splenocyte responses were measured. The results showed that lotus plumule supplementation did not significantly affect body weights and IL-6 secretion of splenocyte cultures from BALB/c mice...
