Chemical Structures and Bioactivities of Sulfated Polysaccharides from Marine Algae
TL;DR: The present paper will provide an update on the structural chemistry of the major sulfated polysaccharides synthesized by seaweeds including the galactans, ulvans, and fucans and the recent findings on the anticoagulant/antithrombotic, antiviral, immuno-inflammatory, antilipidemic and antioxidant activities of sulfated Polysaccharide and their potential for therapeutic application.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Simple 96-Well Microplate Method for Estimation of Total Polyphenol Content in Seaweeds
TL;DR: There is a strong correlation between the total polyphenol content and the potency of antioxidant effect and a simple method based on the classic Folin-Ciocalteau colorimetric reaction was developed based on seaweed polyphenols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial extract of the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum enhances phenolic antioxidant content of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) which protects Caenorhabditis elegans against oxidative and thermal stress
Di Fan,D. Mark Hodges,Junzeng Zhang,Christopher W. Kirby,Xiuhong Ji,Steven J. Locke,Alan T. Critchley,Balakrishnan Prithiviraj +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that ANE stimulate flavonoid synthesis in spinach leaf thus enhancing its nutritional quality and exerts beneficial effects in C. elegans against oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silibinin: A novel inhibitor of Aβ aggregation
TL;DR: Results indicate that silibinin may be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of AD by identifying, through employing a ThT assay and electron microscopic imaging, that it appears to act as a novel inhibitor of Aβ aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional and metabolomic analysis of Ascophyllum nodosum mediated freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana
Prasanth Nair,Saveetha Kandasamy,Junzeng Zhang,Xiuhong Ji,Chris Kirby,Bernhard F. Benkel,Mark Hodges,Alan T. Critchley,David Hiltz,Balakrishnan Prithiviraj +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support LPC mediated freezing tolerance enhancement through a combination of the priming of plants for the increased accumulation of osmoprotectants and alteration of cellular fatty acid composition.
