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

Extraction of Fucoidan from Turbinaria decurrens and the Synthesis of Fucoidan-Coated AgNPs for Anticoagulant Application [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2021 Brown seaweeds usually contain alginate as a major polymer. The second major sulfated polymer in brown seaweeds is fucoidan, which has huge potential in medicinal applications. In this study, the photosynthetic pigments from Turbinaria decurrens were first extracted using chloroform/methanol in the ratio of 1:1 (v/v), followed by fucoidan extraction ...
