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

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

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.
