Astragali Radix-Coptis Rhizoma Herb Pair Attenuates Atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- Mice by Regulating the M1/M2 and Th1/Th2 Immune Balance and Activating the STAT6 Signaling Pathway

Abstract

The ARCR herb pair regulates blood lipid metabolism and attenuates atherosclerosis via regulation of M1/M2 and Th1/Th2 immune balance, which is achieved partially by increasing STAT6 phosphorylation. Our study provides new evidence for the possible use of ARCR herb pair in the prevention and treatment of AS.
