海参生物活性研究进展

海参是重要的海洋食物和药物资源,含有多种生物活性成分,如多糖、皂苷、多肽及蛋白质和脂类等其他活性成分,具有增强免疫力、抗凝血、镇痛、抗肿瘤、抗真菌、抗病毒、抗衰老和抗疲劳等生理功能.本文简要介绍了我国海参资源的分布情况,综述了国内外对海参生物活性物质组成及其药理作用研究的新进展.旨在为科学工作者对海参展开细胞和分子水平上的研究、寻找新型的海洋高效药物和功能性食品的开发提供参考,同时为我国丰富的海参资源的开发利用提供新思路.

Advances on the Research of Sea Cucumber Biological Activities

Sea cucumber is important marine food and medicinal materials.It contains a variety of biologically active ingredients,such as polysaccharides,saponins,peptides,proteins,lipids and other active ingredients.They possess the activities of immunopotentiation,anti-coagulation,analgesic,and anti-tumor,anti-fungal,anti-virus,anti-aging and anti-fatigue and other physiological functions.The summary reviewed the distribution of sea cucumber resources in China and the component and biological activity of sea cucumbers,which may provide the theoretical basis for scientists researching the sea cucumber from the cellular and molecular level and searching for new marine effective drugs and developing functional food.It also provides new ideas for rich sea cucumber resources development and utilization of China.
