Inflammation plays a key role in inflammatory diseases like diabetes. In this study, anti-inflammatory extracts from the starfish were analyzed on pro-inflammatory markers in the body. These markers include cytokines, TNF alpha, and stimulated bone marrow.
The starfish has potent inhibitory effects on the production of all three pro-inflammatory markers. For a sea creature that’s bloodless and brainless, it certainly has the antidote for mitigating blood-borne and brainless stress in our terrestrial existence.
Regenerative medicine may be the wave of the future. Let’s hope this wave takes a good look at the importance of starfish. They may have more to offer than a mysterious ornamental role on the floor of a fish tank.
