Efficacy of Eisenia bicyclis phlorotannins in the treatment of diabetes and reducing inflammation

Rathinam Raja et al.

Summary: Crude phlorotannins from Eisenia bicyclis (CPEb), a common perennial brown seaweed, were found to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic effects. The composition of CPEb was analyzed and it was discovered to contain dieckol, 8, 8'bieckol, fucofuroeckol, and the carotenoid zeaxanthin. In experiments, CPEb was found to reduce the production of cytokines induced by LPS in THP1 macrophage cells and promote glucose absorption in C2C12 myotubes.

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.
