is the seaweed that is the most consumed by the Chilean population. It is recognized worldwide for its high nutritional value in protein, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. This is a narrative review in which an extensive search of the literature was performed to establish the immunomodulator, cardiometabolic, and gut microbiota composition modulation effect of . Several studies have shown the potential of to function as prebiotics and to positively modulate the gut microbiota, which is related to anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, lipid-lowering, and hypoglycemic effects. The quantity of was negatively correlated with that of inflammatory monocytes and positively correlated with the levels of several gut metabolites. Seaweed-derived polysaccharides modulate the quantity and diversity of beneficial intestinal microbiota, decreasing phenol and p-cresol, which are related to intestinal diseases and the loss of intestinal function. Additionally, a beneficial metabolic effect related to this seaweed was observed, mainly promoting the decrease in the glycemic levels, lower cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk. Consuming has a positive impact on the immune system, and its bioactive compounds provide beneficial effects on glycemic control and other metabolic parameters.
是智利人消费最多的海藻。它以其在蛋白质、维生素、矿物质和膳食纤维方面的高营养价值而在世界范围内得到认可。这是一篇叙述性综述，对文献进行了广泛搜索，以确定 的免疫调节剂、心脏代谢和肠道微生物群落组成调节作用。几项研究表明， 有作为益生元的潜力，并能积极调节肠道微生物群落，这与抗肥胖、抗炎、抗癌、降血脂和降血糖作用有关。 的数量与炎症性单核细胞的数量呈负相关，与几种肠道代谢物的水平呈正相关。海藻衍生的多糖可调节有益肠道微生物群落的数量和多样性，减少与肠道疾病和肠道功能丧失有关的酚和对甲酚。此外，还观察到与这种海藻有关的有益代谢作用，主要是促进血糖水平降低，胆固醇水平降低和心血管风险降低。食用 对免疫系统有积极影响，其生物活性化合物对血糖控制和其他代谢参数有有益作用。
