Radioprotective effects of a polysaccharide purified from Lactobacillus plantarum-fermented Ishige okamurae against oxidative stress caused by gamma ray-irradiation in zebrafish in vivo model
Fermentation by L. plantarum increased efficiency of carbohydrates of I. okamurae. An antioxidative polysaccharide (AP2) was purified from fermented I. okamurae. AP2 showed radio-protective effects on gamma ray-irradiated zebrafish model. AP2 contained a plentiful glucose and mannose composition.
