Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide widely distributed in brown seaweed. It exhibits several bioactivities, such as anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant properties. However, the effects of fucoidan in chondrocytes are not well established. Previously, we have reported in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory effects of fucoidan. In this study, we evaluated the effects and regulatory mechanism of fucoidan derived from Undaria pinnatifida on the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and type II collagen in rabbit articular chondrocytes. Using western blotting and alcian blue staining, respectively, fucoidan was shown to induce type II collagen and sulfated proteoglycan in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, fucoidan inhibited the COX-2 expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner and increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and AKT kinases in chondrocytes. The inhibition of p38 and AKT using SB203580 and LY294002, respectively, in the presence of fucoidan decreased the expression of type II collagen. However, ERK inhibition using PD98050 stimulated type II collagen expression. Fucoidan increased COX-2 expression in the presence of inhibitors of ERK, p38, and AKT kinases. These results conclusively suggested that fucoidan regulated type II collagen expression via the p38 and AKT pathways, and COX-2 expression via the p38, ERK and AKT pathways in rabbit articular chondrocytes. Moreover, given its ability to mediate cell differentiation and exert anti-inflammatory activity, fucoidan may represent a potential therapeutic substance for use in inflammatory conditions, including arthritis.

MSG stands for monosodium glutamate. MSG is a common flavor enhancer used in some of your favorite packaged foods and in some Chinese restaurants. Dr. Lynch discusses 3 strategies to rid yourself of MSG-induced headaches: 1) Avoid MSG - hidden sources of MSG on food labels - http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html 2) Find out if you have a GAD (glutamate decarboxylase) gene polymorphism. This gene programs the enzyme that breakds down MSG. You might be susceptible to increase levels of glutamate in your blood. 3) Find other pathways that might effect your ability to breakdown glutamate - including the niacin and homocysteine pathways. 4) Support glutamate breakdown with magnesium, vitamin B6, niacin, eating a healthy balanced diet with healthy oils (fish oil, krill oil, and phosphatidylcholine) Note: There are many different causes of headaches. Please work with your doctor to see if any of these strategies might be right for you.
