Alginate oligosaccharide alleviates vascular aging by upregulating glutathione peroxidase 7

The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry
Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) may delay aging by decreasing oxidative stress, but the effects on vascular aging remain unclear. Here, we evaluate the effect of AOS on vascular aging and investigate the underlying mechanisms. Twenty-month-old rats acted as the natural aging model in vivo.

Alginate oligosaccharide supplementation improves boar semen quality under heat stress

Stress Biology
AbstractHeat stress is a serious problem that affects animal husbandry by reducing growth and reproductive performance of animals. Adding plant extracts to the diet is an effective way to help overcome this problem. Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) is a natural non-toxic antioxidant with multiple biological activities.
