A comparison of the effects of an Ascophyllum nodosum ethanol extract and its molecular weight fractions on the inflammatory immune gene expression in-vitro and ex-vivo
2016-10-01
Abstract excerpt
The anti-inflammatory bioactivities of three crude extracts of Ascophyllum nodosum (cold water, hot water and 80% ethanol extract (EE)) were initially evaluated. Following from this, the immune modulatory efficacy of EE and its MW fractions (<3.5, 3.5–100, >100kDa) were compared. In TNF-α challenged Caco-2 cells, the crude extracts reduced IL-8 production (P<0.001), while the EE caused a >2 fold down-regulation of...
