Inhibitory effects of fucoidan on NMDA receptors and l-type Ca2+ channels regulating the Ca2+ responses in rat neurons

Context: Fucoidan, a sulphated polysaccharide extracted from brown algae [Fucus vesiculosus Linn. (Fucaceae)], has multiple biological activities. Objective: The effects of fucoidan on Ca2+ responses of rat neurons and its probable mechanisms with focus on glutamate receptors were examined. Material...
