Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals Seasonal and Tissue-Specific Metabolic Shifts in Holothuria cinerascens. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
Untargeted metabolic profiling of three body tissues from Holothuria cinerascens in South Africa using 1H‐NMR and UPLC–QTOF–MS revealed distinct tissue‐specific and seasonal metabolic variations, with the body wall and gut/mesentery exhibiting high metabolite diversity.

Therapeutic Potential of Holothuria leucospilota Extract in STZ-Induced Diabetic Rats: Targeting Inflammation and Apoptosis at the Gene Expression Level. [PDF]

Endocrinol Diabetes Metab
Holothuria leucospilota n‐hexane extract shows antidiabetic, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐apoptotic effects in STZ‐induced diabetic rats. The extract modulates key pathways in glucose metabolism, insulin secretion, inflammation, and apoptosis. Treatment significantly decreased glucose and amyloid beta levels, increased insulin, and improved glycemic ...

Tunable Bioresorbable Scaffolds With Marine Sulfated Polysaccharides for Small-Caliber Vascular Grafts: A Multi-Layered Strategy Combining Electrospinning and 4-Axis Printing. [PDF]

Adv Healthc Mater
A multilayered small‐caliber vascular scaffold combining electrospinning and 4‐axis printing is developed and biofunctionalized with marine sulfated polysaccharides from Holothuria tubulosa. The resulting construct exhibits enhanced hemocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties, and supports endothelial and smooth muscle cell adhesion and ...

Structural Characterization and Profiles of Saponins from Two Algerian Sea Cucumbers [PDF]

Molecules
Sea cucumbers are benthic marine invertebrate members of the phylum Echinodermata. Due to the absence of a rigid skeleton, these species have developed chemical defenses based on the production of saponins (triterpene glycosides).

The sea cucumber Holothuria lineata Ludwig, 1875 (Holothuroidea, Aspidochirotida, Holothuriidae) re-described from the newly found type [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
A re-description of the little-known holothurian species Holothuria (Lessonothuria) lineata Ludwig, 1875 is given. It is based on the single recovered type specimen and an individual recently collected on Glorioso Islands, near Madagascar.

Biochemical composition of some Echinodermata (Holothuroidea, Echinoidea) from the Red Sea, Egypt

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
In the present study, the biochemical composition of some Echinodermata (Holothuroidea, Echinoidea) from the Red Sea, Egypt was investigated. The results showed that the highest percentage of saturated fatty acids (SFA) was in Holothuria nobilis and the ...

Effects of morphometric and biochemical parameters on collagen and pepsin-solubilized collagen yields of Holothuria tubulosa (Gmelin, 1790) and Holothuria (Roweothuria) poli (Delle Chiaje, 1823)

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2022
Due to their unique biochemical composition, sea cucumbers are highly prized marine echinoderm species. One of their most important properties is that they contain a high amount of collagen in their body wall.
