Case:Immunity
The production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines
increased by adding the fermented vegetable extract (OM-X), a mixture of vegetables,
fruits, seaweeds, mushrooms and other ingredients that is fermented with lactic
acid bacteria in a prolonged period, to macrophage-like cells. This suggested that
OM-X can stimulate the macrophages directly which in turn activates the immune
system. We also examined the changes of the gene expression in the liver by dosing
the mice with OM-X. According to this result, the changes
of the gene expression caused by the administration of OM-X tends to function
as protecting cells by inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis.
