Biological activity of fucoidan from leafy bladderwort (Utricularia aurea Lour.) [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2005 Fucoidan extracted from aquatic plant Utricularia aurea was 1.3% of dry weight and comprised glucuronic acid 62.5% and fucose 4.98% of the crude extract and 28.74% of the fucose was sulfate. The fucoidan was investigated for antibacterial activity.

Fucoidans and Bowel Health [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2021 Fucoidans are cell wall polysaccharides found in various species of brown seaweeds. They are fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs) and comprise 5–20% of the algal dry weight. Fucoidans possess multiple bioactivities, including antioxidant, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-lipidemic, anti-metastatic, anti ...

Fucoidans in Nanomedicine [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2016 Fucoidans are widespread cost-effective sulfated marine polysaccharides which have raised interest in the scientific community over last decades for their wide spectrum of bioactivities. Unsurprisingly, nanomedicine has grasped these compounds to develop innovative therapeutic and diagnostic nanosystems. The applications of fucoidans in nanomedicine as

Therapeutic Effects and Mechanisms of Fucoidan on Dyslipidemia in Obese Mice [PDF]
Food Sci NutrIn the present study, fucoidan (50 mg/kg/day) did not alter HFD‐driven weight gain or food intake, but significantly decreased serum total cholesterol (TC). Fucoidan reduced hepatic triglyceride, TC, and lipid droplets, improving hepatic lipid accumulation.

Fucoidans: Pro- or antiangiogenic agents? [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2014 Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae (fucoidans) attract great attention due to their high and strongly diversified biological activity. This review summarizes recent data on the structural variability of these polysaccharides and reports their anti- and proangiogenic properties.
