WIth high accretion rate and low black hole mass, narrow line seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are an interesting sub-class of AGNs. To investigate whether NLS1s follow the same M-${\sigma}*$ relation as other AGNs, we selected a sample of 110 NLS1s at relatively low redshift z < 0.1 from SDSS DR7 by constraining the FWHM of Ha broad component, and determined their black hole masses. We measured stellar velocity dispersion of 65 objects which showed strong enough stellar lines in the SDSS spectra, while we adopted the ${\sigma}*$ measurements of 45 objects from Xiao et al. 2011. We find that NLS1s follow the M-${\sigma}*$ relation of active and inactive galaxies while there is a dependency due to the galaxy inclination, which probably cause rotational broadening of stellar absorption lines.
