  • biological activities and Potential Health benefits of sulfated polysaccharides derived from marine algae
    Carbohydrate Polymers, 2011
    Co-Authors: Isuru Wijesekara, Ratih Pangestuti, Se-kwon Kim
    Abstract:

    Abstract Recently, a great deal of interest has been developed to isolate novel bioactive compounds from marine resources because of their numerous Health beneficial effects. Among marine resources, marine algae are valuable sources of structurally diverse bioactive compounds. The cell walls of marine algae are rich in sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) such as fucoidans in brown algae, carrageenans in red algae and ulvans in green algae. These SPs exhibit many beneficial biological activities such as anticoagulant, antiviral, antioxidative, anticancer and immunomodulating activities. Therefore, marine algae derived SPs have great Potential for further development as products in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical areas. This contribution presents an overview of biological activities and Potential Health benefits of SPs derived from marine algae.

  • phlorotannins from ecklonia cava phaeophyceae biological activities and Potential Health benefits
    Biofactors, 2010
    Co-Authors: Isuru Wijesekara, Na Young Yoon
    Abstract:

    The importance of bioactive derivatives as functional ingredients has been well recognized due to their valuable Health beneficial effects. Therefore, isolation and characterization of novel functional ingredients with biological activities from seaweeds have gained much attention. Ecklonia cava Kjellman is an edible seaweed, which has been recognized as a rich source of bioactive derivatives mainly, phlorotannins. These phlorotannins exhibit various beneficial biological activities such as antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-human immunodeficiency virus, antihypertensive, matrix metalloproteinase enzyme inhibition, hyaluronidase enzyme inhibition, radioprotective, and antiallergic activities. This review focuses on biological activities of phlorotannins with Potential Health beneficial applications in functional foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmeceuticals. © 2010 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

  • Carsharing as active transport: What are the Potential Health benefits?
    Journal of Transport & Health, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jennifer L. Kent
    Abstract:

    a b s t r a c t Over the past two decades, carsharing has become a mainstream transportation mode for over a million users worldwide. It is thus far demonstrating some success in efforts to reduce reliance on the private car. While the economic and environmental impacts of carsharing are well explored, research to date has not addressed the Potential Health benefits to be gained from this emerging mode of transport. This article seeks to redress this deficiency through a novel exploration of the Potential Health benefits of carsharing. The article uses a Health lens to problematise existing transport systems that are dominated by private car use. The conceptual Potential for carsharing to address some of these problems is then explored. This Potential is subsequently tested using a systematic review of existing literature. Peer-reviewed literature from 2005 to March 2013 was searched to identify evaluations of Health outcomes associated with carsharing. A three step exclusion process was used to identify articles suitable for reporting. Data was then extracted for analysis using a standard code sheet developed for this study. Seven articles remained for reporting after the review process. All were published in transport related journals. There was very little inter-study similarity in design and substantial variation in the way results have been analysed and reported. These factors prevent estimation of pooled effects and limit conclusions from this data. Not withstanding the limits inherent to the data, this review finds that all studies demonstrated that carsharing reduced vehicle ownership and/or changed travel behaviour. These changes have Potential Health benefits. More rigorous scientific research is required to determine the Health benefits of carsharing membership. Evidence to date warrants a conceptualisation of active transport as extending beyond walking, cycling and the use of public transport in future explorations of related Health benefits.
