“…It is a sulfated polysaccharide, which can be isolated from various species of brown algae and brown seaweed, such as Undaria pinnatifida , Laminaria angustata , Fucus vesiculosus , and Fucus evanescens . Fucoidan shows a variety of biological activities, including anti‐inflammatory, anticoagulant, antioxidant, antiviral, antiapoptotic, and antiproliferative effects . With regard to cancer therapy, some reports indicate that fucoidan exerts an antitumor activity on several cancer types, such as lung, breast, and colon cancers .…”

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common cancer types, with a high annual incidence. Although chemotherapy contributes to suppressing OSCC tumorigenesis, the available treatments result in poor prognosis because of local recurrence and regional lymph node metastasis. Thus, it is necessary to discover novel and safe drugs with greater effectiveness and fewer side effects. Fucoidan is a component of the cell wall of brown seaweed that has been shown to produce a wide range of biological activities. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of fucoidan in treating OSCC. In in vitro studies, we found that fucoidan inhibited OSCC growth and suppressed migration and invasion of OSCC cells. In addition, the potential interaction between fucoidan and filamin A (FLNA)–derived circular RNA (circFLNA) was predicted using bioinformatics databases and then confirmed in OSCC samples and cell lines. Indeed, fucoidan increased the expression of circFLNA in OSCC cell lines. Furthermore, both fucoidan and circFLNA could mediate the expression of key proteins related to cell growth, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. In conclusion, our research demonstrated that fucoidan might be considered as a potential natural drug in the treatment of OSCC patients by targeting circFLNA.

“…Following overnight chilling of the carcasses at 4°C, the Longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle was excised from twelve randomly selected pigs per treatment (2 males and 2 females from 3 pens), and subdivided into eight boneless pork steaks per pig (approximately 1.5 cm in thickness). Five steaks were placed in vacuum pack pouches (200 × 300 mm, McDonnells Ltd, Dublin, Ireland) and flushed with 80% O 2 : 20% CO 2 (modified atmosphere packs, MAP technology) as described by Rajauria, Draper, McDonnell, and O'Doherty () using a single chamber vacuum‐sealing unit (Webomatic vacuum packaging system, C10 H with a Km100‐3M gas mixer, Germany) for colour analysis. The LT steaks in MAP were stored for up to 14 days at 4°C for colour analysis.…”

“…The surface colour of the LT steaks was measured using a colorimeter (CR‐400 handheld Chroma metre, Konica Minolta, Co, Oska, Japan) as described by Rajauria et al. (). Briefly the Chroma metre was calibrated on the CIE LAB colour system using a CR‐A43 calibration plate (Dc: L * = 97.79, a * = −0.11, b * = 2.69).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of supplementing both phytase and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D₃) on pig performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics, bone parameters and pork quality in finisher pigs. The experimental design was a 2 × 2 factorial comprising of four dietary treatments. One hundred and twenty pigs (60 male, 60 female) were blocked according to live weight and sex and allocated to the following dietary treatments: low P (4.81 g/kg) diet (basal) (T1); low P diet + phytase (T2); low P diet + 25-OH-D₃ (T3) and low P diet + phytase + 25-OH-D₃ (T4). Pigs supplemented with phytase had a lower average daily feed intake (ADFI) (2.45 kg vs. 2.59 kg; p < 0.05) and lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) (2.74 kg/kg vs. 2.85 kg/kg; p < 0.05) compared to pigs offered the nonphytase diets. Pigs offered phytase diets had a higher (p < 0.05) coefficient of apparent total tract digestibility (CATTD) of ash, phosphorous (P) and calcium (Ca) compared with pigs offered the nonphytase supplemented diets. Pigs offered the 25-OH-D diets had a higher CATTD of N and ash. Pigs offered the phytase diets had increased (p < 0.05) bone DM, ash, Ca, P and density compared to the nonphytase diets. There was a significant interaction (p < 0.05) between phytase and 25-OH-D on cook loss. Pigs offered 25-OH-D had increased cook loss over the basal diet; however, there was no effect on cook loss when phytase and 25-OH-D were offered in combination compared to the phytase only diet. Pigs offered 25-OH-D exhibited higher (p < 0.05) Warner Bratzler shear force values and lower (p < 0.05) pork lightness (L*) surface colorimeter values. In conclusion, there was no benefit to offering a combination of phytase and 25-OH-D on pig performance, bone parameters or pork quality.

“…This is due to multiple benefits (Makkar et al 2016), such as an increase in nutrient digestibility as well as improvements in the intestinal physiology and immunity of animals (Bahar et al 2012, Jha andBerrocoso 2016). Seaweed are rich in non-digestible polysaccharides such as laminarin, fucoidan and alginic acid (Zvyagintseva et al 2003, Rajauria et al 2016, which are a possible source of soluble fibers that can provide a dietetic resource to improve intestinal health and potentially reduce intestinal pathogens (Gardiner et al 2008). These natural products can be used in nursery and fattening diets because they are a rich source of carbohydrates.…”

ABSTRACT. Probiotics have been used as an alternative method to antibiotic treatment. In this study, we evaluated the effect of seaweed extracts, commercially named OceanFeed Swine ® (OFS), on body weight, average daily weight gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (FE) in nursery and fattening pigs of terminal lines. The study was conducted with 1809 piglets from weaning age until the end of the fattening phase on a commercial farm, divided into two groups (control and OFS; 905 and 904 pigs, respectively). Three replicates were made during the 6 weeks of production. Food was elaborated in the same productive unit and was given to the animals in the form of flour. OceanFeed Swine ® (5 g/kg of diet) was added to the diet of the OFS groups during the nursery period, from 21 to 55 days of age. The faecal microbial population was evaluated at 35 and 60 days of life. In this paper, we observed a positive effect of administering OceanFeed Swine ® on the production parameters analysed in the fattening phase, showing an improvement of 26 g in ADG and FE of 0.07. It can be concluded that the use of OceanFeed Swine ® in the diets of the piglets, aged between 21 to 55 days old, improves FE (Control 2.36, OFS 2.29) and ADG (control 0.798 kg, OFS 0.824 kg). Moreover, its use exhibited an increase in the slaughter weight, a reduction of E coli CFU, and an increase in Lactobacillus sp. in fattening animals. All these improvements have a major positive economic impact per pig at time of slaughter.
