Component
Mouse RAW264.7 LPS-induced cytokine/nitrite response
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it
SA reduced nitrite and selected cytokine responses in LPS-challenged RAW264.7 cells.
Experimental context and source evidence
- evidence_access
- Primary indexed abstract reviewed; full results, tables and supplements not independently extracted.
- experimental_condition
- LPS without SA added · Shikimic acid Condition belongs to the full experimental contrast; do not separate a joint intervention.
- experimental_condition
- LPS without SA stimulus · Lipopolysaccharide Condition belongs to the full experimental contrast; do not separate a joint intervention.
- experimental_contrast
- {"intervention": "SA plus LPS", "comparator": "LPS without SA", "endpoint": "SA reduced nitrite and selected cytokine responses in LPS-challenged RAW264.7 cells.", "effect_direction": "decrease", "combination": "joint", "conditions": [{"entity_slug": "shikimic-acid", "state": "added"}, {"entity_slug": "lipopolysaccharide", "state": "stimulus"}]} Explicit extracted experimental comparison; source-derived draft.
- experimental_model
- Mouse RAW264.7; accessible abstract, cell dose not independently extracted.
- interpretation_status
- Source-derived extraction of a fact-checked reference; access is explicit, not independent raw-data verification.
- limitations
- Interpret only within the recorded preparation, exposure and comparator. The complete source passage retains qualifications; unspecified doses/timing have not been extracted here. No clinical efficacy, nutrient deficiency or unique molecular mediation is inferred.

**Other inflammatory models are separate evidence.** Rabelo 2016 reported lower nitrite, TNF and IL-1β responses and reduced ERK/p38 phosphorylation in LPS-exposed mouse RAW264.7 macrophages. Rodent pain outcomes were also reported at 50–200 mg/kg depending on the test. Only the indexed abstract was available for this extraction, so unverified route, cell dose and timing are not invented. Lower p38 signaling here and higher p38 phosphorylation in hair cells are different conditions, not automatically conflicting studies.
