| Application: | Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus has been to: • study the application of heparin red in detecting fucoidan • study its bioactivity as an antimicrobial agent • study its effects on advanced glycation end-products |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Studies of fucoidan have found it to have a broad variety of biological activities including antitumor and antiangogenic activities, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, and antioxidant activities. Fucoidan induces macrophage activation with subsequently activates mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and results in natural killer cell proliferation. Fucoidan acts as a nonselective selectin blocker and has been shown to induce apoptosis and suppress angiogenesis. |
