Abstract
Chronic inflammation has been known to have a close relationship with several diseases including periodontitis, colitis, hepatitis and arthritis. Recently anti-inflammatory agents have been developed from marine natural resources. In this study, Ecklonia cava (EC) was found to have anti-inflammatory effect. Ethanolic extract of EC belonging to brown algae exhibited an excellent inhibitory effect on the production of inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-
만성염증은 치주염, 대장염, 간염 및 관절염과 밀접한 관련성이 있다고 알려져 있다. 최근에 항염증제가 해양자원으로부터 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 감태 (EC)가 항염증효과가 있다는 것이 발견되었다. 갈조류에 속하는 감태의 에탄올 추출물이 RAW 264.7 세포에서 tumor necrosis factor-
