In the United States alone, more than 5 million people are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the number of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia continues to grow each year as the proportion of the population aged 65 and over increases in the United States. In Alzheimer’s dementia, as the number of nerve […]
Category: Health Benefit of Fucoidan
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally across different age groups. The worldwide research to prevent cancer and offer treatment has already been underway due to its high incidence, morbidity, and mortality. While the research is still ongoing, fucoidan has been reported to have multiple positive functionalities such as anti-cancer effect and […]
The cosmetics industry is definitely one of the fastest-growing industries worldwide. Growing interests and influences of modern lifestyles, grooming, and beauty products are treated equally to health additions. Natural medicated cosmetics are also becoming more and more popular due to their stable properties, nutritional support, and physiological utility, compared to products made from synthetic chemicals. […]
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease easily identified by skin lesions and the overgrowth of keratinocytes. Dermatologists classify it as inflammatory keratosis and infection, causing inflammation and keratosis that thickens the skin. Additionally, as the affected area grows red, the horny layer becomes thick and complex. The surface becomes dandruff-like scales and scabs, typically a […]
Human norovirus (HuNoV) is the leading causative virus of non-bacterial food poisoning. Norovirus infections cause acute gastroenteritis in all age groups, from infants to the elderly. They can occur many times as long-term immunity is not established. Norovirus, the causative virus, grows only in the human intestine. Still, it is resistant to dryness and heat […]
Tumors that occur in the neck and head, excluding the eyeball and brain, are called head and neck tumors. There are various types of tumors depending on where these tumors occur. However, the most malignant ones are called head and neck cancers. Also, cancer is distinguished from laryngeal, pharyngeal, and tongue, depending on where it […]
Studies have confirmed that LPL activation can suppress the development of arteriosclerosis and also suppress insulin resistance. Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, is acknowledged to have significant effects, but effective anti-lipidemic potency has not been clear. In this blog, I want to share how fucoidan works on lipoprotein lipase secretion based on […]
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is constantly exposed to bacteria microflora. However, an excess immune response against the bacterial microflora does not occur in the normal state due to some immunological tolerance underlying the GI immune system. So, disruption of immunological tolerance against intestinal microbial antigens is likely to cause abnormal intestinal inflammation and the development […]
Fucoidan and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats via regulating the inflammation response
Acute myocardial infarction is one of the significant causes of death. Myocardial infarction is a symptom of heart dysfunction caused due to the lack of blood supply to the heart muscle. Regarding myocardial infarction treatment, “reperfusion therapy” is the primary treatment used. The treatment helps to restart sufficient blood flow as soon as possible. However, […]
Malignant melanoma is one of the skin cancers caused by malignant melanocytes that make skin pigments. Melanoma develops drug resistance quickly and is highly malignant due to abnormalities in multiple proliferative signaling pathways. For example, in a few studies, epidermal growth factor receptor ERBB3 was abnormal in 70% of cases. There are four similar proteins […]
