Hexane extract of aged black garlic reduces cell proliferation and attenuates the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM‑1 in TNF-α-activated human endometrial stromal cells.

The treatment of the HESCs with HEABG potently suppressed the TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 and VCam-1 transcript and protein expression by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB and AP-1 transcription factors.
