褐藻廣布於台灣、韓國、日本、大陸等亞洲國家沿岸,除了作為蔬菜來源以外,也被作為傳統中草藥之用。由於傳統中草藥多使用水煎或酒浸的方式來提萃機能性成分,本研究為貼近傳統中草藥的使用方式來探討褐藻的功效性,因此使用褐藻熱水萃取物來進行抗氧化及免疫活性分析。在馬尾藻、裙帶菜、海帶三種褐藻水萃物中得知,其含有豐富的醣及硫酸根成分,其中以馬尾藻萃取物含量最高,且醣分子主要以低分子量(<504 Da)為主。而在抗氧化及免疫活性評估上,其確效性以馬尾藻>海帶>裙帶菜,因此進而取馬尾藻萃取物進行抗發炎的細胞及動物評估。在細胞試驗中得知:馬尾藻萃取物經由調控NF-κB轉錄因子的表現,進而抑制細胞核內促發炎物質的基因轉譯,讓發炎激素及發炎產物的分泌量下降以達到抗發炎的作用。而在動物評估中也證實:在管餵及塗抹模式下,馬尾藻萃取物均可抑制耳殼腫脹、紅腫及浸潤現象。魷魚皮脂溶性萃取物富含ω-3 不飽和脂肪酸及磷脂質,在細胞評估下發現:魷魚皮脂溶性萃取物能減緩H2O2對神經細胞的氧化損傷,提升其細胞存活率、抗氧化酵素活性及減少Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ)斑塊堆積。

研究報告摘要(英)


Brown seaweed is distributed around the sea coast in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, China…etc. Besides of using as vegetable, brown seaweed is a kind of traditional medicine prepared by boiling the seaweed in water. In order to explore the effect of brown seaweed, we used the water extract of Sargassum hemiphyllum, Undaria pinnatifida and Laminaria Japonica to do the anti-oxidative and immune activity analysis. It was found that the water extract of S. hemiphyllum, U. pinnatifida and L. Japonica contained high concentration of polysaccharide and sulfate. And S. hemiphyllum was the highest one among them and the molecular weight of polysaccharide was major composed of low molecular weight (<504 Da). The efficiency of anti-oxidative and immune activity was: S. hemiphyllum>L. Japonica>U. pinnatifida. Thus, the water extract of S. hemiphyllum was used for anti-inflammation analysis in vitro and in vivo. In cell culture assay, it was demonstrated that water extract of S. hemiphyllum regulated NF-κB transcription factor, and then inhibit the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory gene, cytokines and inflammatory product secretion. In animal model, it was also proved that no matter in gavage or painting model, the water extract of S. hemiphyllum inhibited ear swelling, erythema and infiltration in mice. Dosidicus gigas integument lipidic extract was a ω-3 enriched phospholipid, which successfully protected SH-SY5Y cells against the cytotoxicity, markedly increased the cell proliferation, antioxidant enzymes of glutathione contents and catalase activities, and inhibited the secretion of amyloid β-peptide 1-42.
