background spirulina is one of the most profitable known microalgae in the world, which is used as food and superfood. in the other hand, spirulina is a useful source of healthy components. it seems that the spirulina is transformable so that the introduction of a selectable marker is needed. objectives the purpose of this study was to determine a suitable selection marker for spirulina platens...

Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) is a steadily growing life-threatening endocrine disorder linked to insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation. Inflammatory microenvironment of adipose tissue constitutes the direct tissue milieu for various cell populations, including adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs), widely considered as a potential therapeutic cell source ...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Spirulina platensis and moderate exercise on oxidative stress and lipid profiles in the rats. Forty male Wistar rats were allocated to the following 10-week treatments, three times a week: exercise (E, 30 min swimming), S. platensis (SP, 26 mg/Kg); exercise and Spirulina (ES); and control (C). Outcomes were Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBAR...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of microalgae Spirulina platensis and Chlorella vulgaris to remove nitrate and phosphate in aqueous solutions. Spirulina platensis and Chlorella vulgar is microalgae was collected in 1000 ml of municipal water and KNO3, K2HPO4 was added as sources of nitrate and phosphate in th...

Mangueira Lagoon, located in the extreme south of Brazil, has water with physicochemical characteristics such as alkaline pH and carbonate levels propitious for the growth of the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis. Previously published studies have shown that Mangueira Lagoon water supplemented with small quantities of carbon and nitrogen is suitable for S. platensis cultivation and can signifi...

Introduction: This research aimed at evaluating the hepato-protective effect of the alga Spirulina platensis against diclofenac-induced liver injury in rats. The study’s ultimate aim was to understand whether Spirulina could be developed as a functional food for therapy and protective therapeutic use. Methods: Hepatic injury was induced by administering diclofenac sodium (50mg/kg i.p.) for 5 da...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of microalgae spirulina platensis and chlorella vulgaris to remove nitrate and phosphate in aqueous solutions. spirulina platensis and chlorella vulgar is microalgae was collected in 1000 ml of municipal water and kno3, k2hpo4 was added as sources of nitrate and phosphate in three different concentrations (0.25, 0.35 and 0.45g/l). during the gro...
