Abstract
Blood monocytes are the precursors for the lipid-laden foam cells of early atherosclerotic lesions. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a CC chemokine. and chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) playa crucial role in the recruitment of monocytes to the vascular lesion. Using the human monocyte THP-1 cell line. we investigated the inhibitory effects of methanol extracts of 127 medicinal herbs on MCP-1-induced chemotaxis. (omitted)
