Effect of neuronal differentiation activity of hot water extracts of marine alga, Chlorella capsulata

초록

Hot water extracts of Chlorella capsulata (CCE) is a biological response modifier (BRM) which exhibits neuronal differentiation activity. The effect of CCE on the growth of nerve cells, PC12 was observed as follows: The viable cell density in adding CCE was increased up to 2.5 times, compare to that in no addition. The neurite of the cells was also lengthened up to 40 μm longer than 5 μm in no addition. The number of neurite-bearing cells were about four times higher than that in no addition.
