Natural killer cell activation and modulation of chemokine receptor profile in vitro by an extract from the cyanophyta Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
The present research was designed to study the effects of an extract from the edible cyanophyta Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on human natural killer (NK) cells. We have previously shown, using a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled crossover design, that ingestion of 1.5 g of dried whole A. flos-aquae resulted in a transient reduction in peripheral blood NK cells in 21 healthy human volunteer...
متن کاملAntioxidant properties of a novel phycocyanin extract from the blue-green alga Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a fresh water unicellular blue-green alga (cyanophyta) rich in phycocyanin (PC), a photosynthetic pigment with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of a novel natural extract from AFA enriched with PC to protect normal human erythrocytes and plasma samples against oxidative damage in vitro. In red b...
متن کاملThe effect of oral Aphanizomenon flos-aquae extract on excisional wound healing
Background: Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a type of blue-green algae and contains a source of biological compounds. These microalgae have many beneficial health effects. Recently, fucoidan, known sulfated polysaccharide component of AFA algae, has been claimed to stimulate stem-cell mobilization in animal models. Stem cells play an essential role in tissue repair process. In this study, we ...
متن کاملToxicity of Seven Herbicides to the Three Cyanobacteria Anabaena flos-aquae, Microcystis flos-aquae and Mirocystis aeruginosa
The toxicity of 7 herbicides to the three cyanobacteria was tested in this work. The results indicated that: (1) There was a highly significant relationship between dried weight or chlorophyll-a and OD680nm for tested cyanobacteria; (2) the toxicity of the tested herbicides with the order from high to low was: photosynthesis-inhibiting > ACCase inhibitor > protox inhibiting herbicides; (3) the ...
متن کاملModulation of Natural Killer Cell Activity
Natural killer (NK) cells are a heterogenous subpopulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) that have the ability to kill various tumors and tumor cell lines in the absence of prior sensitization. These cells have generated considerable interest and have been implicated in natural resistance to tumors,'-5 resistance to viral infection:-7 transplantation rejection,'** and immunoregulation o...
