Механизм противорадиационной функции спирулины
Спирулина reduce damage to macromolecules caused by exogenous chemicals
Спирулина does not affect its growth after being irradiated with radiation up to 100Gy, indicating that it is very resistant to radiation. After it is applied to humans, it can absorb excess radiation and reduce radiation damage to the body. In addition, Spirulina itself also contains restriction endonucleases and a variety of enzymes related to substance metabolism, which can increase the content of glutathione and other substances in the body. These substances combine with the structure of the electrophilic part of the mutagen to seal it. It eliminates the damaging effect of mutagens, protects macromolecules such as DNA from being hit, and reduces damage to macromolecules caused by exogenous chemicals.
Spirulina enhanced DNA synthesis and repair function
Studies have shown that the polysaccharides and glycoproteins contained in Spirulina can significantly increase unprogrammed DNA synthesis after radiation, and can enhance the activity of endonucleases and DNA damage repair enzymes, thereby enhancing cells’ ability to repair DNA damage.
Spirulina promote the emission of exogenous chemicals
Chemical mutagens, like other exogenous chemicals, increase in water solubility after metabolism in the liver or other tissues, and then combine with sulfate, glucuronic acid, glycine, glutathione and other substances in the body to accelerate the removal of these substances from the body. Excretion protects macromolecular substances in the body. Studies have found that glutathione contained in spirulina and glucuronic acid in polysaccharides can accelerate the excretion of mutagens produced by radiation.
Спирулина remove excess free radicals and improve the body’s antioxidant capacity
The normal metabolism of the human body will produce free radicals, which are needed for human activities. However, radiation reactions will produce a large amount of free radicals, exceeding the amount required for human activities. These excess free radicals will indirectly affect biological macromolecules, so , Excessive free radicals are one of the important substances that cause radiation damage.
Spirulina contains a variety of substances that can scavenge free radicals, such as: selenium, glutathione, vitamins, superoxide dismutase, coenzyme Q10, etc. Glutathione has a reducing effect and can eliminate free radicals produced by radiation in the human body. Selenium is an important substance in glutathione and has a very strong anti-radiation effect. Beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E also scavenge free radicals produced by radiation. Coenzyme Q10 and superoxide dismutase are both free radical scavenging factors. They can specifically remove harmful free radicals in the body to eliminate body damage caused by free radicals oxidizing certain components in the body.
In addition, the spirulina polysaccharides, γ-linolenic acid, and chlorophyll in spirulina also have antioxidant effects. Various substances in Spirulina work together to remove excess free radicals caused by radiation, thereby improving the body’s antioxidant capacity.
Спирулина improve immunity
Experiments have shown that spirulina can significantly enhance the body’s immune function. This immune function enhancement mainly works through the spirulina polysaccharide, beta carotene, amino acids, various trace elements and coenzyme Q10 in spirulina. Among them, spirulina polysaccharide can enhance the proliferation ability of bone marrow cells, promote bone marrow hematopoietic function, increase the level of white blood cells, increase the phagocytosis rate and phagocytic index of macrophages, increase the number of T lymphocytes and eliminate the inhibitory effect of immunosuppressants. Beta carotene has a unique effect on the immune response. It can protect phagocytes from their own oxidative damage and enhance immune function. The rich amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, coenzyme Q10, etc. in spirulina can also enhance the ability of human immune cells to phagocytose viruses, improve the body’s immune function, and make the body full of health and vitality.
Spirulina protect and restore vision damage caused by radiation
The eyes are the organs of the human body that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. Excessive electromagnetic radiation pollution can cause vision loss, dry eyes, opacification of the eye lens, eye burning, cataracts, etc. The beta carotene contained in spirulina can effectively fight toxins and detoxify, and can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. Vitamin A is an important substance that constitutes the photosensitive material of the eye. It is very important for the health of the eyes. It can protect and restore vision damage caused by radiation and prevent and treat cataracts.
