Edible bird's nest attenuates procoagulation effects of high-fat diet in rats. EBN has been reported to improve dyslipidemia, which is closely linked to hypercoagulation states. "...potential for lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease-related hypercoagulation due to hypercholesterolemia.

Edible bird's nest enhances antioxidant capacity and increases lifespan in Drosophila Melanogaster. EBN can extend lifespan, decrease mortality rate and increase survival rate in heat-stress test. "...attributing to the increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and decreasing content of lipid peroxidation products...
