Alginate (ALA), which is an intercellular polysaccharide associated with brown algae, is
used as a food additive, a health food and a medicine. Here, we first examined the …

The metabolism of alginic acid, sodium alginate, potassium alginate and calcium alginate,
and their effect on the serum concentrations of Na, K and Ca in the rat were investigated by …

Alginates, extracted from brown algae, are among the most versatile marine biopolymers.
Alginates have the common characteristics of forming gels, in addition to possessing …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of long-term and short-term
consumption of sodium alginate on the nutrient digestion and metabolic regulation of rats …

We studied the effects of a natural sodium alginate (isolated from Laminaria angustata
Kjellman var. longissima Miyabe, Phaeophyceae)(average molecular weight: 2700 kDa; AG …

Sodium alginate oligosaccharide (Na-AO) was prepared from sodium polyalginate by
cleavage with alginate lyase, and the effects of Na-AO on serum lipids, serum minerals and …

We examined whether calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) reduces blood cholesterol levels in rats fed
a high-cholesterol diet. First, we examined taurocholate adsorption in vitro by various types …

Filler injection demand is increasing worldwide, but no ideal filler with safety and longevity
currently exists. Sodium alginate (SA) is the sodium salt of alginic acid, which is a polymeric …

In this study, rats were fed a high-fat diet containing calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) for 5 weeks to
examine the effects of Ca-Alg on lipid metabolism including triglyceride (TG) levels in the …

The increased excretion of a 85 Sr body-burden from mice, caused by a sodium alginate
diet, cannot be explained by the uptake of alginate derivatives in the blood. This statement is …
