From the abstract
Background/Objectives : Cellular senescence and oxidative stress contribute to macrophage dysfunction and chronic inflammation during aging. Buddleja globosa (matico) is traditionally consumed as an infusion and has reported antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study evaluated whether an aqueous extract of B.
