TL;DR: The brown alga Spatoglossum schroederi contains three fractions of sulfated polysaccharides as mentioned in this paper, which contain fucose, xylose, galactose, and sulfate in a molar ratio 1.0:0.5:2.

TL;DR: Sequence comparison, phylogenetic analysis and analysis of the functional recombinant toxin revealed that LALP is related in both structure and function to the astacin family of metalloproteases, suggesting that an astacIn-like toxin is present in a animal venom secretion and indicates that recombinant LALp will be a useful tool for future structural and functional studies on venom and the astACin family.

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided that L. intermedia venom is directly involved in nephrotoxicity and caused azotemia with elevation of blood urea levels but did not decrease C3 complement concentration or cause hemolysis in vivo.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated which cell types express endothelin receptors in the trigeminal ganglion, and the contribution of mechanisms mediated by ET A and ET B receptors to orofacial heat hyperalgesia induced by unilateral constriction of the infraorbital nerve (CION).

TL;DR: The hypothesis has been raised that the in vivo antithrombotic activity of fucan A is related to the increased production of this heparan from endothelial cells like heparin, and the data suggest that it may be an ideal antithromabotic agent in vivo.
