Abstract: The present study investigated immune stimulatory effects of Cladosiphon okamuranus-derived fucoidan to activate murine macrophage-like cell line RAW264, and the functional relationship with zymosan, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived β-glucan. The production of nitric oxide (NO) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3177/jnsv.63.419
Abstract: Seaweed has been considered an indigestible food. Fucoidan, which is found abundantly in seaweed, especially in Cladosiphon okamuranus (Okinawa mozuku), has a high molecular weight and has been long believed to be hardly absorbed in… read more here.
