Caulerpa is a green macroalgae found on Lemukutan Island, West Kalimantan. contains bioactive compounds that have potential to inhibit the alpha-glucosidase enzyme for people with diabetes mellitus. Inhibition of will an impact delaying glucose absorption. In addition, it necessary carry out toxicity test detect toxic effects and assess safety in use compounds. Therefore, purpose this study was...

Potential antioxidant properties of an aqueous extract of the edible red seaweed Gracilaria tenuistipitata (AEGT) against oxidative DNA damage were evaluated. The AEGT revealed several antioxidant molecules, including phenolics, flavonoids and ascorbic acid. In a cell-free assay, the extract exhibited 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity that significantly reduced H₂...

BACKGROUND Isolated fucoidans from brown marine algae have been shown to have a range of anti-inflammatory effects. PURPOSE This present study tested a Maritech((R)) extract formulation, containing a blend of extracts from three different species of brown algae, plus nutrients in an open label combined phase I and II pilot scale study to determine both acute safety and efficacy in osteoarthri...

In the present study, we evaluated the effect of brown seaweeds Sargassum muticum methanolic extract (SMME), against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines proliferation. This algae extract was also evaluated for reducing activity and total polyphenol content. The MTT assay results indicated that the extracts were cytotoxic against breast cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner, wit...

Abstract: Aim/Background: Cancer is still known to be a devastating disease condition. Even after getting advancements in multimodality therapies, the success rate with respect patient survival very limited. Hence there an emerging need find alternative medication strategies for cancer treatment. Recently seaweeds are their significance due its tremendous medicinal properties. Among different c...

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is an anabolic hormone important for growth and development. However, high-circulating serum concentrations in adults are associated with increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. Nutritional status and specific foods influence serum IGF-1 concentrations. Breast cancer incidence is typically low in Asian countries where soy is commonly consumed. Parado...

Seaweed is receiving an increasing amount of attention as a "sea vegetable". The microbiota of coastal populations may acquire seaweed associated enzymes through marine food. Several agarases have been found in non-marine environments; however, their origin is unknown. In this study, a hypothetical protein, Aga1, was identified as an agarase from an inland soil agar-degrading bacterium, Paeniba...
