Tunisian Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) Aqueous Extract Improves Treatment of Bleomycin-Induced Lung Fibrosis in Rat
Abstract
The aqueous extract of horehound (Marrubium vulgare), rich in polyphenols, was tested against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats. It significantly reduced the inflammatory index and fibrosis score, decreased infiltration of inflammatory cells, and reversed oxidative-stress markers, demonstrating anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection of lung tissue.
