BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Spirulina is a known a functional food related to lipid profiles, immune functions, and antioxidant capacity. Circulating monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) level is associated with inflammation markers. Single nucleotide polymorphism in the MCP-1 promoter region -2518 have been identified and shown to affect gene transcription. Gene variation may also impact funct...

BACKGROUND Altered plasma lipids, oxidative stress, and inflammation have been involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Fish oil has shown inconclusive effects on plasma lipids and oxidative stress. Spirulina has both cholesterol lowering and antioxidant properties. However, the effect of fish oil and spirulina on hypercholesterolemia has not been studied. We investigated the eff...

Mauritius is a tropical island with very rich biodiversity of endemic organisms an unexplored pool microalgae, especially in the Ulvophyceae class. From freshwater sources, isolate was characterised using morphological traits and 18S rDNA region. It determined to be Rhexinema paucicellulare further evaluated for its biochemical content against commercially available Spirulina sp. This study eva...

Data provided by WHO show that the prevalence of aggressive periodontitis is observed in almost 19% adult world population and associated with destruction attachment apparatus premature tooth loss. Development a periodontal pocket foci infection also negatively affect body on whole. Despite great number researches this field dramatic improvement treatment prophylaxis, problem high diseases rema...

Spirulina is a natural product that scientifically used in many fields due to its beneficial contents such as antioxidants, essential amino acids, high-quality proteins and unsaturated fats. known nutriment-dense food it has vitamins A, C, E B minerals including calcium, zinc, magnesium selenium. In particular, selenium vitamin C are with antioxidant properties protect our cells tissues against...

The effect of Spirulina supplementation on reduction of copper toxicity based on food utilization, phosphatases activities and selected haematological parameters was studied in a freshwater cultivable fish C. mrigala. Metal concentration in medium, body tissues and fecal matter was also analysed. Sublethal exposure of C. mrigala fed Spirulina-free diet significantly reduced the consumption and ...

The effects of sodium bicarbonate concentration, population density, and temperature on the maintenance of an outdoor monoculture of the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis were studied. A clear response by Spirulina to the concentration of bicarbonate was evident, with 0.2M bicarbonate representing the lowest concentration in which a monoculture could be maintained. When the temperatures fell d...

The cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis is an attractive alternative source of the pigment chlorophyll, which is used as a natural color in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. In the present investigation, the influence of light intensity and pH for Spirulina platensis growth, protein and chl a content were examined. In the present investigation the production of Spirulina platensis was...

The influence of nature on occupant well-being and performance has been proved in office, hospital, educational settings. There is evidence that plants green colors affect creative psychological responses. microalgae facade the study integrated spirulina, blue-green microalgae, which were cultivated using natural daylight room air. While a good body research explores nature’s impact people, sys...

Microalgae are considered as an ample source of bioactive compounds. These wide variety chemicals possess promising potential to translate into drug candidates. Hence, the aim this study is determine anti-cancer effects Spirulina platensis microalgae extract against endometrial cancer cells. The selective cytotoxic effect and cytotoxicity index S. on Ishikawa cell line, determination DNA fragme...
