ABSTRACT
A growing market for seaweed products has emerged in the last 20 years, with microalgae and their extracts representing a source of high-value chemicals. In this study, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of lipid fraction extract from Chlorella vulgaris (Chlorella) and Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) on Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts (NHDF cells) were evaluated. Treatments with Chlorella and Spirulina lipid extracts in NHDF cells at 0.1, 0.5, and 1% significantly protect UVA-induced damage by decreasing oxidative stress in the form of reactive oxygen species (ROS) but do not display any significant protection from HEV-induced damage. Chlorella or Spirulina lipid extracts at 0.1 and 0.5% display significant anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the 2-propanol-induced IL-6 expression on NHDF cells in vitro but showed no decrease in TNF-α expression. Chlorella and Spirulina lipid extracts present antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity on NHDF cells.
