Ability of fucoidan to prevent muscle necrosis induced by snake venom myotoxins: comparison of high- and low-molecular weight fractions.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fucoidan, a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, inhibits the myotoxic phospholipases A(2) present in the venoms of crotalid snakes. This study evaluated the influence of molecular weight on the ability of fucoidan to prevent muscle necrosis when rapidly administered after injection

Fucoidan suppresses excessive phagocytic capacity of porcine peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells by modulating production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

We examined the effect of fucoidan, an immune modulator, on the phagocytic capacity of porcine peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) exposed to culture supernatant from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). For this purpose, we evaluated the

Immunomodulatory activity of fucoidan against aspirin-induced gastric mucosal damage in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Gastric ulcers and related complications associated with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, represent a major global health problem. In the present study, we investigate the immunological activity of fucoidan against aspirin-induced gastric mucosal damage in

Fucoidan from marine brown algae attenuates pancreatic cancer progression by regulating p53 - NFκB crosstalk.

Only registered users can translate articles

Poor pancreatic cancer (PC) prognosis has been attributed to its resistance to apoptosis and propensity for early systemic dissemination. Existing therapeutic strategies are often circumvented by the molecular crosstalk between cell-signalling pathways. p53 is mutated in more than 50% of PC and NFκB

Therapeutic effect of fucoidan-stimulated endothelial colony-forming cells in peripheral ischemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Fucoidan, an antithrombotic polysaccharide, can induce endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFC) to adopt an angiogenic phenotype in vitro. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the effect of fucoidan on vasculogenesis induced by ECFC in vivo. METHODS We used a murine hindlimb ischemia model to probe the

Inhibitory effect of fucoidan on the activities of crotaline snake venom myotoxic phospholipases A(2).

Only registered users can translate articles

Myotoxic phospholipases A(2) account for most of the muscle necrosis that results from envenenomation by crotaline snakes. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of fucoidan, a natural sulfated polysaccharide obtained from the brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus, against the cytotoxic and

Fucoidan stimulation induces a functional maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fucoidan is a complex sulfated polysaccharide with a wide variety of biological activities for modulating immune cell functions. However, the effects of fucoidan on maturation process and activation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) remain to be elucidated. The present study

Evaluation of adjuvant effects of fucoidan for improving vaccine efficacy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed, including Fucus vesiculosus. This compound is known to have immunostimulatory effects on various types of immune cells including macrophages and dendritic cells. A recent study described the application of fucoidan as a vaccine

Immunostimulatory effects of fucoidan on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fucoidan is a polysaccharide purified from the brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus. Although some effects of fucoidan on immune functions have been elucidated, there have been no studies concerning the immunomodulatory effects of fucoidan on dendritic cells (DCs), which are powerful antigen-presenting

Immunomodulating activity of arabinogalactan and fucoidan in vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

Many polysaccharides obtained from natural sources are considered to be biological response modifiers and have been shown to enhance various immune responses. Here, we investigated the immunomodulating effects of arabinogalactan (AG) and fucoidan (FU) in vitro. Mouse spleen lymphocytes became

Neoangiogenesis induced by progenitor endothelial cells: effect of fucoidan from marine algae.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fucoidans--sulphated polysaccharides extracted from brown algae--could be beneficial in patients with ischemic diseases. Their antithrombotic and proangiogenic properties promote in animals, neovascularization and angiogenesis which prevent necrosis of ischemic tissue. In 1997, endothelial

Fucoidan from Acaudina molpadioides protects pancreatic islet against cell apoptosis via inhibition of inflammation in type 2 diabetic mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Inflammation induces pancreatic islet cell apoptosis. Effects of fucoidan from Acaudina molpadioides (Am-FUC) on inhibition of pancreatic islet cell apoptosis and inflammation in type 2 diabetic mice were investigated. Am-FUC repaired pancreatic islet cells, decreased serum C-reactive protein (CRP),

Early Detection of Localized Immunity in Experimental Autoimmune Myocarditis Using [99mTc]Fucoidan SPECT.

Only registered users can translate articles

PURPOSE

The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of technetium-99m-fucoidan ([^99mTc]fucoidan), a molecular imaging agent specific for selectins, in the assessment of early localized immunity in a rat model of experimental autoimmune myocarditis

Different suppressive effects of fucoidan and lentinan on IL-8 mRNA expression in in vitro gut inflammation.

Only registered users can translate articles

A system for assessing the anti-inflammatory effects of food factors was developed by establishing a co-culture system with intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells and macrophage RAW264.7 cells. The results indicate that fucoidan and lentinan exhibited different suppressive effects on interleukin-8

Protective Effects of Fucoidan against Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Oxidative Damage in Porcine Intestinal Epithelial Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of fucoidan in ameliorating hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced oxidative stress to porcine intestinal epithelial cell line (IPEC-1). The cell viability test was initially performed to screen out appropriate concentrations of
