Acute Post-Prandial Cognitive Effects of Brown Seaweed Extract in Humans [PDF]

Nutrients, 2018
(Poly)phenols and, specifically, phlorotannins present in brown seaweeds have previously been shown to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase, key enzymes involved in the breakdown and intestinal absorption of carbohydrates. Related to this are observations of modulation of post-prandial glycemic response in mice and increased insulin sensitivity in ...

Inhibitory activity of extracts of Hebridean brown seaweeds on lipase activity [PDF]

Journal of Applied Phycology, 2015
The effect of three Hebridean brown seaweeds on lipase activity was assessed using a turbidimetric lipase activity assay and an in vitro simulation of the upper digestive tract. The preparations of Ascophyllum nodosum, Fucus vesiculosus, and Pelvetia canaliculata were tested; whole seaweed homogenate, sodium carbonate extract, and ethanol extracts ...

Tyrosinase inhibition effects of Korean edible brown, green, and red seaweed extracts

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences
The tyrosinase inhibition effects of 23 marine-derived seaweeds harvested in Korea were screened to determine their potential as skin-whitening agents. Of the 23 species initially screened, the total phenolic (TP) content of brown, green, and red seaweeds were 7.62–280.11, 5.24–62.37, and 0.63–28.76 phloroglucinol equivalents (PGE) mg/g, respectively ...
