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.

Does the use of chitosan contribute to oxalate kidney stone formation
Moacir Fernandes Queiroz,Karoline Rachel Teodosio Melo,Diego Araujo Sabry,Guilherme L. Sassaki,Hugo Alexandre Oliveira Rocha +4 more
TL;DR: It is observed that chitosan modifies the morphology and size of these crystals, as well as changes the surface charge of the crystals, making them even more positive, which can facilitate the interaction ofThese crystals with renal cells.

Spectrophotometric quantitation of antioxidant capacity through the formation of a phosphomolybdenum complex: specific application to the determination of vitamin E.
TL;DR: The phosphomolybdenum method is routinely applied in the laboratory to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity of plant extracts and to determine vitamin E in a variety of grains and seeds, including corn and soybean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of compatible solutes
TL;DR: Of the compatible solutes tested, sorbitol, mannitol, myo-inositol and proline were effective hydroxyl radical scavengers and Glycinebetaine was ineffective.
Journal ArticleDOI
A colorimetric method for the determination of sugars.
TL;DR: Preliminary experiments showed that the anthrone and the α-naphthol sulphonate reagents give good results with pure sugar solutions, but the presence of only traces of solvents such as butanol, phenol and propionic acid used in the chromatographic separation of the sugars rendered them useless.

Antioxidant Therapy: A New Pharmacological Approach in Shock, Inflammation, and Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
TL;DR: Treatment with either peroxynitrite decomposition catalysts and selective superoxide dismutase mimetics, or with SODm, have been shown to prevent in vivo the delayed vascular decompensation and the cellular energetic failure associated with shock, inflammation, and ischemia/reperfusion injury.
