Abstract

We show that PCSC, a polysaccharide isolated from the sclerotium of Poria cocos with one percent sodium carbonate, significantly induces nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) transcription through the activation of nuclear factor-$\kappa$B/Rel (NF-$\kappa$B/Rel).(omitted)
