In this blog, I would like to discuss the benefits of Fucoidan on obesity. Obesity causes inflammation, and it is well-known that such inflammation in the body tends to cause damage to healthy tissue and even leads to DNA damage. Obesity is a condition that is accumulating extreme body fat. Obesity is also an escalating […]

(Biomedical and Biophysical Research Communication (2006) 350:501-507) Type I hypersensitivity, similar to food allergy, is once invaded allergen (causative agent of allergy) into the body. IgE is generated from B cell that is one of the immune cells. IgE binds to the mast cell, and then the allergen binds to the IgE antibody. Since allergen […]
It is by now, a well-established fact that Fucoidan is effective on cancer. However, it is suitable for other diseases, such as a peptic ulcer. According to the studies by Medscape, in the United States, peptic ulcer disease affects approximately 4.6 million people annually, with an estimated 10% of the US population having evidence of […]
Ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers are one of the most common malignancies that adversely affect the female genitals. Although the rate of ovarian cancer is lower than the other two, early clinical diagnosis remains challenging and often delayed. 70% of patients with ovarian cancer have infiltration of peripheral tissue at diagnosis, which increases the risk […]
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. Unfortunately, it is also the second leading cause of death from cancer in men in the United States. The treatment or therapy for prostate cancer usually involves surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Due to these treatments, there are noticeable adverse effects on the patients during […]
In most circumstances, Autophagy promotes tumorigenesis. Cancer upregulates Autophagy. Additionally, the mechanism is reliable on microenvironmental stress, raises growth and aggressiveness, and promotes cancer. However, in some situations, Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis. This study, in which Fucoidan induces Autophagy to improve cancer treatment, is groundbreaking. https://www.jci.org/articles/view/73941 Hence I would like to share the following research and […]
Radiation therapy is one of the most important and used cancer treatments. It is done by irradiating, it inhibits cancer cells. However, radiation therapy damages the normal cells while destroying the cancer cells. While it is beneficial in most cancer treatments, due to this therapy, many people suffer side effects after it. Also, according to […]
Many reports indicate that the antitumor activates of Fucoidan have been observed in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism underlying the antitumor activities of Fucoidan has been reported to include the induction of apoptosis, suppression of angiogenesis, and activation of cell-mediated immunity. In particular, Fucoidan increases the activity of natural killer cells in vivo. Fucoidan […]
Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown algae that have been proved to perform multiple biological activities. In the following study shared in the blog, I discuss the investigation to confirm whether Fucoidan has beneficial effects on endotoxemia induced by LPS (Endotoxin), a septic model in mice. The research focuses on survival rates and […]
In this article, I’d like to discuss the lesser-known but more prevalent issue across the world. Neuropathic pain is characterized by spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia, and allodynia, affecting millions of people worldwide. The therapies and remedies available are shown to be effective in managing neuropathic pain include opioid analgesics, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants. However, these treatments are […]
