Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) extracted from the roots of panax notoginseng are free radical-scavenger, with an antioxidant property, capable of inhibiting expression of adhesion molecules and chemokines. This study was designed to test the effects of PNS administration in apolipoprotein (apo)-E-deficient mice on the activation of JNK, p38(MAPK), ERK1/2 and NF-κB, and the expression of RAGE, adhesion molecules and chemokines in the atherosclerotic lesions.
