Seaweed for Atopy Treatment
-  The Department of Food Science & Technology at PKNU succeeds in extracting an atopy suppressing substance from seaweed
 
Chungjo Lee (24, female) under the master’s degree program in the Department of Food Science & Technology at Pukyong National University (PKNU) succeeds in extracting a substance effective in suppressing atopic reactions. 

Lee proved in her paper “An Effect of Sargassum horneri Extract in Suppressing Atopy Reactions” that this extract is effective in symptoms of dermatitis and regulating immunogenic determinants. This is the first study that extracts a medicine for treating atopic dermatitis from sargassum horneri, and it is expected that the study will contribute to the treatment of atopic dermatitis, which is a huge concern for many people recently. 

Sargassum horneri is a type of brown alga and was considered not useful until now, but thanks to this study it is drawing attention as an anti-atopic substance. The paper was also awarded a participation prize in the 2010 Korean Society of Food Science and Technology Best Paper Competition. 

“Following this study on a medicine for external use, research on developing a medicine for oral administration will also be conducted consistently,” said Lee.

Meanwhile, the research team in the Food Resource Development Laboratory in the Department of Food Science & Technology at PKNU is conducting research on developing medicine for treating atopic dermatitis and other practical medicine using sargassum horneri and other marine plants.<Translator ; Park Si Hyeong, heartfulmind@naver.com>
