The edible seaweed Sargassum polycystum (SP) is traditionally used against several human diseases. This investigation evaluated the effects of two dietary doses of SP ethanolic and aqueous extracts on the pancreatic, hepatic, and renal morphology of type 2 diabetic rats (T2DM). T2DM was induced by feeding rats on high calorie diet followed by a low dose streptozotocin. Changes in the diabetic r...

Sulfated polysaccharides from marine algae are one of the commercially beneficial compounds with a range of pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. They are testified to be effective against free radicals and related health complications. This study aims to determine the antioxidant potential of the sulfated polysaccharide from Sargassum myriocystum, followed by its purification and structu...

Abstract Synthesis and characterization of sodium alginate from Sargassum aquifolium dan cinereum have been successfully performed. S. were collected the Dompu Islands, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Extraction was performed by acid pathway, due to cell disruption addition Na 2 CO 3 for extraction. The HCl convert into alginate, then transformed using NaOH. NaOCl IPA used purification. Physicoc...

Over the last decade, Caribbean has seen massive, episodic influxes of pelagic sargassum negatively impacting coastal ecosystems, people’s livelihoods and climate-sensitive sectors. Addressing this issue solely as a hazard proven extremely costly attention is slowly turning towards potential opportunities for reuse valorization. However, ‘sargassum crisis into gold’ not easy. In study we use mu...

different solvent extracts of a red algae, hypnea flagelliformis,and two brown algae, cystoseira myrica and sargassum boveanum, collected from the persian gulf coast were subjected to different bioassays including: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) free radical scavenging assay, antibacterial and antifungal activity by thin layer chromatography (tlc)-bioautography, agar disc diffusion (add) ...
