Effects of Fucoidans from Five Different Brown Algae on Oxidative Stress and VEGF Interference in Ocular Cells [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 Background: Fucoidans are interesting for potential usage in ophthalmology, and especially age-related macular degeneration. However, fucoidans from different species may vary in their effects.

In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Fucoidans from Five Species of Brown Seaweeds
Marine Drugs, 2022 This study aimed to compare the anti-inflammatory effects of fucoidans from brown seaweeds (Saccharina japonica (SJ), Fucus vesiculosus (FV), Fucus distichus (FD), Fucus serratus (FS), and Ascophyllum nodosum (AN)), and determine the relationship between

Structural Analysis of Fucoidans [PDF]
Natural Product Communications, 2008 Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae (“fucoidans”) constitute a wide variety of biopolymers from simple sulfated fucans up to complex heteropolysaccharides composed of several neutral monosaccharides, uronic acid and sulfate. The increased interest in

Food Hydrocolloids for Health, 2022 Inflammation is a phenomenon responsible for the perturbation of homeostasis in several levels, with many sources, such as infection, injury, and exposure to contaminants. The necessity of new products that are effective in treating inflammation processes as can selectively imaging an inflammation site is a global issue.

Are Helicobacter pylori Infection and Fucoidan Consumption Associated with Fucoidan Absorption? [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2020 We examined the associations of Helicobacter pylori and mozuku consumption with fucoidan absorption. Overall, 259 Japanese volunteers consumed 3 g fucoidan, and their urine samples were collected to measure fucoidan values and H. pylori titers before and 3, 6, and 9 h after fucoidan ingestion. Compared to the basal levels (3.7 ± 3.4 ng/mL), the urinary

Ion-exchange purification and structural characterization of five sulfated fucoidans from brown algae [PDF]
, 2021 Fucoidans are a diverse class of sulfated polysaccharides integral to the cell wall of brown algae, and due to their various bioactivities, they are potential drugs. Standardized work with fucoidans is required for structure-function studies, but remains
