Anticancer and antioxidant effects of selected Sri Lankan marine algae
For the investigation of bioactive components from Sri Lankan seaweeds, three species of red algae (Chondrophycus ceylanicus, Gelidiella acerosa, Gracilaria corticata), two species of green algae (Chaetomorpha crassa, Caulerpa racemosa) and one species of brown algae (Sargassum cassifolium) were evaluated. For the bioactivity evaluations, total phenol content (TPC), free radical scavenging acti...

متن کاملThe Effects of Marine Algae on Osteoporosis
Background: Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone disease caused by an imbalance between bone formation and resorption. Nutritional factors are involved in the prevention of osteoporosis. Several treatments exist for osteoporosis including bisphosphonates, parathyroid hormone, estrogen therapy, and hormone therapy, which have their own side effects. In the quest for an appropriate treatment for os...
متن کاملAntimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Anticancer Activities of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles Using Marine Algae Ecklonia cava
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has gained great interest as a simple and eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical methods. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized by using extracts of marine algae Ecklonia cava as reducing and capping agents. The formation of AgNPs using aqueous extract of Ecklonia cava was confirmed visually by color change and their surface plasmon res...
متن کاملAntioxidant Activity of Hawaiian Marine Algae
Marine algae are known to contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds, many of which have commercial applications in pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetic, nutraceutical, food and agricultural industries. Natural antioxidants, found in many algae, are important bioactive compounds that play an important role against various diseases and ageing processes through protection of cells from oxidative ...
