Induction of hepatocyte growth factor by fucoidan and fucoidan-derived oligosaccharides
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2008 Abstract Fucoidan, which is extracted from brown seaweed, is a complex sulphated polysaccharide that is mostly composed of l-fucose and sulphated ester groups. The structural and anionic characteristics of fucoidan are similar to those of heparin.
