Carrageenophyte Inhibits Microglia-Mediated Neuroinflammation via Suppression of AKT/NF-B and ERK Signaling Pathways.

Neuroinflammation is an inflammatory response in any part of the central nervous system triggered by the activation of microglia and astrocytes to produce proinflammatory cytokines in the brain. However, overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines further contributes to the development of neurodegenerative disorders. Red seaweed, is a predominant carrageenophyte commercially cultivated in Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia.
