Effects of Chlorella on Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Matrix Metalloproteinase, Caspase, Cytokine Release and B/T Cell Proliferation and Its Phorbol Ester Receptor Binding Potentials
Published in Journal of Medicinal Food (2004)
- Objectives
- Diverse pharmacological actions of Chlorella and its extracts have been demonstrated in many studies involving humans and experimental animals. A study was recently carried out to clarify the mechanisms for these actions.
- Methods
- Powdered Chlorella samples were evaluated in vitro using 52 methods as to enzymatic activity, receptor binding potentials, effects in stimulating cytokine release from cells and effects on B and T cell proliferation.
- Results
- Table 1 summarizes the improving effects expected of Chlorella on the basis of the results from this study.
