P07 | ULVANS AS AN ECO-FRIENDLY TOOL TO MITIGATE CELLULAR IMPAIRMENT INDUCED BY DEXAMETHASONE IN MYTILUS GALLOPROVINCIALIS

European Journal of Histochemistry
The inadequate treatment of municipal wastewater leads to the constant release into the environment of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs). The PhACs can induce multiple biological effects on various aquatic species compromising their welfare ...

The Antihyperlipidemic Mechanism of High Sulfate Content Ulvan in Rats [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2015
Numerous studies have suggested that hyperlipidemia is closely linked to cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible antihyperlipidemia mechanism of HU (high sulfate content of ulvan) in high-cholesterol fed rats. Wistar rats were made hyperlipidemic by feeding with a high-cholesterol diet. HU was administered to these

Characterisation of a phylogenetically distinct PL25 family ulvan lyase from a seaweed biomass enriched metagenome

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 10, Page 2885-2907, May 2026.
Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Comparative Study of Sulfated Polysaccharides From Ulva Lactuca Grown in Tunisia and Morocco: in Vitro Antioxidant Activity and in Vivo Anti‐Inflammatory and Anti‐Ulcer Effects

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from Ulva lactuca collected in Tunisia (PSUT) and Morocco (PSUM). FTIR confirmed the presence of sulfate groups, while GC‐MS identified diverse sugar components. Both polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant activity, with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates ...
