Introduction:
This study emphasizes the efficacy of triphala as a therapeutic agent over inflammatory condition in hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) mediated inflammatory path in the presence of titanium (Ti) discs.
Materials And Method:
In the presence of triphala extracts, lipopolysaccharidetreated macrophages showed reduction in production of inflammatory mediators and intercellular free radicals (ROS) and downregulation of mRNA in TNF.
Results:
Thus in the presence of propargylglycine, reduction of TNFα by triphala in the H2 S inhibited group showed that the mechanism of action of triphala can be through the H2 S pathway.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
