The present study was conducted to examine whether heat-processed  Scutellariae  Radix has an ameliorative effect on lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced acute lung injury in mice. The effects of  Scutellariae  Radix heat-processed at 160°C (HSR) were compared with those of nonheat-processed  Scutellariae  Radix (NSR). The LPS-treated group displayed a markedly decreased body weight and significantly increased lung weight; however, the administration of NSR or HSR improved both the body and lung weights. The increased oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarker levels in the serum and lung were reduced significantly with HSR. The reduced superoxide dismutase and catalase increased significantly by both NSR and HSR. Also, the dysregulated oxidative stress and inflammation were significantly ameliorated by NSR and HSR. The expression of inflammatory mediators and cytokines by nuclear factor-kappa B activation was modulated through inhibition of a nuclear factor kappa B α  degradation. Also, lung histological change was markedly suppressed by HSR rather than NSR. Overall, the ameliorative effects of HSR were superior to those when being nonheat-processed. The representative flavonoid contents of  Scutellariae  Radix that include baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin were greater by heat process. These data reveal heat-processed  Scutellariae  Radix may be a critical factor involved in the improvement of lung disorders caused by LPS.
