Ergothiazine can protect cells in the human body and is an important active substance in the body. Natural antioxidants are safe and non-toxic, and have become the focus of research. Ergodine, as a natural antioxidant, has entered people's field of vision. One of the functions of ergothionine is to protect red blood cells in normal function or pathological inflammatory sites from neutrophils.
Action principle of ergothionine;
1, ergothionine intake depends on a special transporter, OCTN 1, and there are OCTN 1 in skin keratinocytes and melanocytes, so skin tissues and cells can easily accept, obtain and utilize EGT.
2. Mitochondria can be described as the "engine" and productivity factory of cells, where sugar and fat are oxidized to release energy. Just as an engine burning gasoline can provide power for a car, it will also generate excess heat, endangering the safety of the engine and the car.
3. Ergothiazine can enter cells and mitochondria through the transporter OCTN- 1 on cell membrane and mitochondrial membrane, and directly scavenge reactive oxygen free radicals, thus playing the role of antioxidation and protecting mitochondria.
