The polysaccharides of Acanthophora spicifera and Cystoseira trinode were isolated and their components identified using different chemical and spectral techniques. Their effects were evaluated for the first time on hyperlipidemic rats. Atorvastatin Ca (Lipitor) was used as a reference drug. Results revealed that the polysaccharides isolated were of sulfate type. Acanthophora spicifera lowered ...

 Hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia have been symptoms of many serious diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis overall the world. Thus, drug researchers have focused on new, natural and healthy drug alternatives. Marine macroalgae is a great source of hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic or hypocholesterolemic agents. In this study, we investigated that hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic a...

seaweeds have caused an emerging interest in the biomedical area, mainly due to their contents of bioactive substances which show great potential as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral and anti-tumoral drugs. despite the diversity in quality and quantity of the mediterranean tunisian coast flora, with its large contains of marine organisms and seaweeds, most of them have not yet been ...

Brown algae Cystoseira sp. and to gain additional information on the environmental conditions of the area seawater samples were collected from six sampling stations along the Turkish coast of the Aegean Sea. Concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn and Fe were measured for both algae and seawater samples. The heavy metal concentrations detected in algae showed significant differences among all stat...

In this study, the effect of brown seaweed (Cystoseira barbata) and cattle manure combinations were investigated as a worm food on properties Eisenia fetida manure. Seaweed Cystoseira barbata collected from coast Giresun, desalted dried then ground. Cattle was obtained breeding dairy had covered fermented. Food groups; 0% (control group); 5.45%; 10.90%; 21.81% 43.63% algae prepared containing t...

Supercritical carbon dioxide with ethanol as modifier was employed in the extraction of functional food ingredients from Cystoseira abies-marine algae. Three different types of pre-treatment were employed to prepare the vegetal raw material producing an important effect on extraction yield. The experimental assays were carried out in a semi-continuous extraction cell at 290 bar, 40 °C and using...

Abstract Cystoseira mediterranea (Sauv.) extract was tested for its ability to restore barley ( Hordeum vulgare ) growth under salt stress (350 mM NaCl), shoot growth; membrane integrity; lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide determination were performed. In normal conditions, the obtained data revealed of stimulate most parameters. However, it showed significant effect on parameters (plant ...
