Houpu Sanwu decoction alleviates rat intraperitoneal adhesion by regulating macrophage polarization and inhibiting inflammatory responses

Key Points

• Houpu Sanwu decoction alleviates intraperitoneal adhesion effectively in rats, reducing inflammation and improving outcomes.
• In a rat model, treatment with the decoction significantly decreased markers of inflammation and modulated macrophage polarization.
• Assessment using a rat model, the study details the anti-inflammatory effects observed following decoction administration.
• The findings suggest a potential therapeutic avenue for managing intraperitoneal adhesions, though further validation in clinical settings is needed.
