Inhibitory Effects of Green Asparagus Extract, Especially Phospholipids, on Allergic Responses and .

Abstract in brief

• The study investigates how various extracts from green asparagus, especially those rich in phospholipids and glycolipids, can potentially reduce allergic responses by inhibiting the release of allergic mediators in cell models and alleviating symptoms in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis.
• Key findings show that lipid-rich fractions from asparagus, particularly phospholipids like phosphatidic acid, significantly decrease allergic reactions by lowering serum IgE levels and inhibiting the degranulation process, which is crucial in allergies.
• The results suggest that consuming asparagus or its extracts could help manage allergies by modulating immune responses, laying the groundwork for developing health foods or supplements aimed at allergy relief.
