In the eyes of most friends, the main function of bird's nest is the beauty beauty of bird's nest, and it also has the functions of moistening the lungs and nourishing the stomach, strengthening the body, protecting the liver and nourishing the heart and improving eyesight. In fact, bird's nest also has the following characteristics:
1. The human intestine absorbs the essence of bird's nest.
Studies have shown that the bioactive substances in edible bird's nest will be released after being digested, and then absorbed into the intestine through passive mediated transport to play its role.
2. The drugs for treating eye diseases in the future will come from bird's nest products.
The experimental results show that low concentration of bird's nest extract can synergistically induce corneal cell proliferation, especially for cells cultured in serum medium. This may be a new breakthrough, because the proliferation of corneal cells and the repair of corneal function are very important in the healing of corneal injury. In vitro cell experiment is considered to be the key first step in vivo experiment with eye drop extract containing bird's nest extract.
3. Bird's nest can be used as functional food.
Bird's nest can prevent the decline of metabolic indexes and the transcription changes of insulin signal genes caused by high-fat diet. The experimental results show that bird's nest can be used as a functional food to prevent insulin resistance.
4. Bird's nest prevents nervous system diseases
The bird's nest extract can prevent the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons caused by 6- hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), especially by inhibiting cell apoptosis. Therefore, the bird's nest extract may be a feasible nutrient for preventing neurodegenerative diseases related to oxidative stress, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).
5. Bird's nest has a new scientific basis for anti-aging.
Studies have shown that eating bird's nest (EBNs) can significantly reduce the estrogen deficiency related to the increase of advanced glycosylation products (AGEs), and change the redox status through oxidative damage (MDA content) and enzymatic antioxidant defense (superoxide dismutase and catalase) markers. In addition, EBN supplementation can down-regulate the genes related to neurodegenerative diseases and apoptosis in hippocampus and frontal cortex. The results show that EBN has neuroprotective potential for aging-related estrogen deficiency at least partly through the improvement of redox system and the attenuation of end products.
6. Bird's nest can enhance immunity.
Eating bird's nest can promote the proliferation and activation of B lymphocytes and improve the antibody levels of IgE, IgA, IgM and IgG3. The bird's nest extract promotes the secretion of "secretory immunoglobulin A(S IgA)" in small intestine. This study shows that bird's nest can improve immunity.
