Abies koreana Wilson (Pinaceae) EO was investigated for its anti-in ammatory activity using LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages. The EO of A. koreana at doses of 12.5, 25, and 50 pg/mL showed dose-dependent inhibition of LPS-induced NO production. LPS-induced COX-2 activity was also suppressed by the EO, and consequently, the PGE2 concentration was reduced. The results exhibited promising anti-in ammatory properties of the EO of A. koreana (Yoon et al., 2009).

Memory loss or amnesia can be caused by factors such as physical and psychological trauma as well as diseases such as stroke and Alzheimer s. Kim et al., [81] identified 68 compounds (more than 95% of the total) in SFE extract obtained from Abies Koreana Wilson and observed that the extraet obtained improves memory in rats.
