Seaweeds are known to be a good supply of key nutrients including carbohydrates, protein,
minerals, polyunsaturated lipids, as well as several other health-promoting compounds …

A magnet-sensitive and strippable polymeric coating that consists of a magnetic adsorbent
with 137 Cs adsorption properties using a polyacrylamide (PAAm)/alginate (Alg)-based …

Polysaccharides are long monosaccharide units which are emerging as promising materials
for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications due to their biocompatibility, mostly …

Alginate and laminaran are the main water-soluble polysaccharides in edible brown algae
such as arame Eisenia bicyclis. To determine the alginate-and/or laminaran-susceptible …

We investigated the relationship between the physical parameters of various metal ions,
including toxic metal ions, and the binding affinity of these metal ions for alginate (Alg). The …

Background Release of radionuclides, such as 137Cs and 90Sr, into the atmosphere and
the ocean presents an important problem because internal exposure to 137Cs and 90Sr …

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 …

When radioactive materials are released into the environment due to nuclear power plant
accidents, they may enter into the body, and exposing it to internal radiation for long periods …

Abstract Calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) is known to suppress the postprandial increase of blood
glucose, and therefore may be helpful for preventing lifestyle-related diseases such as …

We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, 3-group, 3-phase crossover study
to evaluate the effect of calcium alginate (Ca-Alg) on the postprandial increase of blood …
