Marine algae Capsosiphon fulvescens

Kwon, M.-J. and Nam, T.-J. (2007). A polysaccharide of the marine alga Capsosiphon fulvescens induces apoptosis in AGS gastric cancer cells via an IGF-lR-mediated P13K/Akt pathway. Cell Biol. Int. 31, 76B-775. 

Hwang et ah declared that polysaccharide extracted from Capsosiphon fulvescens inhibited alcohol-induced cell death and reduced the expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and the inducible form of nitric oxide (iNOS), proteins related to ulcers (Hwang et ah, 2008). They proved that polysaccharide from marine algae also can be used as cancer protection agent.
