Dietary Supplementation with Low-Molecular-Weight Fucoidan Enhances Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses and Protects against Mycoplasma pneumoniae Antigen Stimulation

Marine Drugs, 2019
In this study, the low-molecular-weight (LMW) fucoidan, rich in fucose and sulfate, was extracted and purified from the edible brown seaweed, Laminaria japonica. In this study, we orally administered LMW fucoidan to mice for 6 weeks.

Growth and fucoidan sulfatase production in fucoidan-utilizing bacteria from sea sand.

Journal of the agricultural chemical society of Japan, 1984
Bacteria utilizing fucoidan as the sole carbon source were isolated from sea sand. Sixty-six isolates were obtained from 374 sea sand samples. Five grew comparatively well in a medium of fucoidan-artificial sea water. These bacteria utilized various fucoidan substrates. The production of fucoidan sulfatase was estimated by the increase in liberation of

Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus Protects against Alcohol-Induced Liver Damage by Modulating Inflammatory Mediators in Mice and HepG2 Cells

Marine Drugs, 2015
Fucoidan is an l-fucose-enriched sulfated polysaccharide isolated from brown algae and marine invertebrates. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus on alcohol-induced murine liver damage.
