The inhibitory effects of components from a brown alga, Eisenia arborea, on degranulation of mast cells and eicosanoid synthesis
The anti-allergic effect of an edible brown alga, Eisenia arborea, was investigated by determining the anti-degranulation activity on RBL cells or KU812 cells and the inhibitory effects on enzymatic activities involved in eicosanoid (leukotoriene and prostaglandin) synthesis.
