Total polysaccharide of <i>Yupingfeng</i> protects against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis <i>via</i> inhibiting transforming growth factor-β1-mediated type I collagen abnormal deposition in rats

Abstract

YPF-P had antifibrotic effect in experiment, which may reduce the synthesis and promote the deposition of Col-I via suppressing the increase of TGF-β1-mediated activation of myofibroblasts.
