The Fucoxanthin (Fu) effects on OVA-specific antibodies in serum. The serum levels of (A) OVA-IgE, (B) OVA-IgG1, and (C) OVA-IgG2a are shown for normal (N) and OVA-stimulated (OVA) mice treated without or with prednisolone (P) or fucoxanthin (Fu10 and Fu30). Fu modulated the levels of (D) IFN-γ, (E) IL-4, (F) IL-5, and (G) IL-13 produced by OVA-activated splenocytes. All data are the means ± SEM. * p <0.05, ** p <0.01 compared to the OVA control group. 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg fucoxanthin were named as Fu10 and Fu30, respectively. 5 mg/kg prednisolone was named as P.
