Abstract
Sulfated fucan from sea cucumber is mainly consists of L-fucose and sulfate groups. Recent studies have confirmed that the structure of sulfated fucan mainly consists of repeating units, typically tetrasaccharides. However, there is growing evidence indicating the presence of irregular domains with heterogeneous units that have not been extensively explored. Moreover, as a key contributor to the nutritional benefits of sea cucumbers, sulfated fucan demonstrates a range of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, hypolipidemic, anti-hyperglycemic, antioxidant, and anticoagulant properties. These biological activities are profoundly influenced by the structural features of sulfated fucan including molecular weight and distribution patterns of sulfate groups. The latest research indicates that sulfated fucan is dispersed in the extracellular matrix of the body wall of sea cucumbers. This article aimed to review the research progress on the in-situ distribution, structures, structural elucidation strategies, functions, and structure-activity relationships of sulfated fucan, especially in the last decade. It also provided insights into the major challenges and potential solutions in the research and development of sulfated fucan. Moreover, the fucanase and carbohydrate binding modules are anticipated to play pivotal roles in advancing this field.

Abstract
An unprecedent glucuronoxylogalactoglucomannan (GXG'G″M), ME-2 (Mw, 2.60 × 105 g/mol; O-acetyl % = 16.7 %), was isolated and purified from water extracts of Auricularia auricula-judae (black woody ear). Firstly, due to much higher O-acetyl contents, we prepared its fully deacetylated products (dME-2; Mw, 2.13 × 105 g/mol) for convenient structure survey. The repeating structure-unit of dME-2 was readily proposed based on Mw determination, monosaccharide compositions, methylation analysis, free-radical degradation and 1/2D NMR spectroscopy. The dME-2 was identified as a highly branched polysaccharide with an average of 10 branches per 10 sugar backbone units. The backbone was only repeating →3)-α-Manp-(1→ residues, substituted at the C-2, C-6 and C-2,6 positions. The side chains included β-GlcAp-(1→, β-Xylp-(1→, α-Manp-(1→, α-Galp-(1→ and β-Glcp-(1→. Secondly, the complex substituted positions of O-acetyl groups in ME-2 were determined to be at C-2, C-4, C-6 and C-4,6 in the backbone and at C-2 and C-2,3 in some side chains. Finally, the anti-inflammatory activity of ME-2 was preliminarily explored on LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells. The above date not only provided the first example for structural studies of GXG'G″M type polysaccharides, but also facilitated development and application of black woody ear polysaccharides as medicinal agents or functional dietary supplements.

Abstract
Fucoidans are valuable marine polysaccharides with various bioactivities and physicochemical properties. However, its digestive properties, mucoadhesive properties, and bioactivity in the gastrointestinal tract are still unclear. In this study, simulated digestion, fecal fermentation in vitro, and rheology models were utilized to investigate the chain conformation, influence on gut microbiota, and mucin adhesive properties of fucoidan from the sea cucumber Thelenota ananas (Ta-FUC). The results showed that Ta-FUC was nondigestible with a temporary decrease in molecular weight in gastric conditions, accompanied by the chain conformation becoming more flexible. Moreover, Ta-FUC exhibited strong mucin adhesive function in the simulated intestinal environment, with supramolecular disulfide, hydrogen, and hydrophobic interactions in order of intensity. During fermentation, Ta-FUC was degraded by the intestinal flora to produce various short-chain fatty acids and promoted the relative abundance of Bacteroidota and Firmicutes, reducing the proportion of Proteobacteria. Therefore, these results indicate that Ta-FUC could be a potential prebiotic and ingredient for developing targeted delivery systems in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) was synthesized by reacting chitosan with glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride. Atomic force microscopy showed that HACC exhibited disorderly coils in dilute solution and formed a three-dimensional network. Flow, thixotropy, and dynamic viscoelasticity tests were conducted using an MCR301 rheometer. The HACC solution was a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid, and the shear behavior of different concentrations (2-6 %, w/v) was evaluated by the Williamson model fitting. Furthermore, the thixotropy was highly dependent on concentration changes: the high-concentration solution structure was difficult to recover in a short time. The dynamic viscoelasticity test indicated that the viscoelasticity of the HACC solution not only exhibited a viscous behavior similar to that of a fluid, but also exhibited elastic properties of weak gel. HACC exhibited high-strength solid-like gel characteristics at high temperature.

Abstract
Loss of myofibers during muscle atrophy affects functional capacity and quality of life. Dexamethasone, an inducer of rapid atrophy of skeletal myofibers, has been studied as a glucocorticoid receptor in muscle atrophy or motor neurodegeneration. In this study, we examined dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy using zebrafish (Danio rerio), a vertebrate model, and assessed whether administration of Lepidium meyenii (maca) as a dietary supplement can prevent muscle atrophy. Changes in skeletal myofibers in zebrafish were evaluated after exposure to dexamethasone for different periods and at different concentrations. Under optimized conditions, zebrafish pre-fed with maca for 3 days were exposed to 0.01% dexamethasone for 1 h/day for 7 days. Thereafter, myofiber loss, damaged muscle contractile proteins, and abnormal exploratory behavior due to the structural and functional impairment of skeletal muscle associated with muscle atrophy were investigated using hematoxylin-eosin, immunofluorescence staining, and behavioral analyses. Our findings suggest that dexamethasone induces muscle atrophy in zebrafish, inhibiting exploratory behavior by inducing myofiber loss, inhibiting muscle contraction, and causing changes in endurance and velocity. Thus, the zebrafish model can be used to screen pharmaceutical agents and to study muscle atrophy. Furthermore, maca is a potential dietary supplement to prevent muscle atrophy, as it protects muscle fibers.

Abstract
Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide with various bioactivities. The application of fucoidan in cancer treatment, wound healing, and food industry has been extensively studied. However, the therapeutic value of fucoidan in cardiovascular diseases has been less explored. Increasing number of investigations in the past years have demonstrated the effects of fucoidan on cardiovascular system. In this review, we will focus on the bioactivities related to cardiovascular applications, for example, the modulation functions of fucoidan on coagulation system, inflammation, and vascular cells. Factors mediating those activities will be discussed in detail. Current therapeutic strategies and future opportunities and challenges will be provided to inspire and guide further research.

Abstract
The molecular aggregation of a galactomannan (NSAP-25) from Sophora alopecuroides L. seeds was investigated, where three polydisperse systems were confirmed during particle size analysis, indicating existence of different aggregates composed of random coil chains revealed by circular dichroism. Morphologically, NSAP-25 aggregate of various sizes (200-1200 nm) was possibly multi-stranded and formed by ellipsoid-like particles (20-60 nm) composed of compact coil chain, exhibiting extended amorphous structure with chain-like branches intertwined. Hence, NSAP-25 aggregation was inevitable, which exerted an unignorable effect on augmenting flexibility (β↓, γ↓, α↓ and Lp/ML↓) and compactness (ρ↓, df↑ and C∞↓) of branched random coil chain based on macromolecular analysis, especially when concentration increased. Moreover, it could be relevant to thermokinetic behavior of random nucleation and subsequent growth (A2 model and negative ΔS*) as well as good thermal stability (IPDT, ITS, t0.05, Tm and Tp), thus conferring potential applications for NSAP-25 in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Brown seaweed polysaccharides (BSPs) are one of the primary active components from brown seaweed that has a range of pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. However, the quality control of BSPs is a challenge due to their complicated structure and macromolecule. In this study, saccharide mapping based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), multi-angle laser light scattering, viscometer, and refractive index detector (HPSEC-MALLS-Vis-RID), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) were used to discriminate the polysaccharides from nine different species of brown algae (BA1-9). The results showed that BSPs were composed of β-D-glucans and β-1,3-1,4-glucan linkages. The molecular weight, radius of gyration, and intrinsic viscosity of BSPs were ranging from 1.718 × 105 Da to 6.630 × 105 Da, 30.2 nm to 51.5 nm, and 360.99 mL/g to 865.52 mL/g, respectively. Moreover, α values of BSPs were in the range of 0.635 to 0.971, which indicated a rigid rod chain conformation. The antioxidant activities of BSPs exhibited substantial radical scavenging activities against DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2, 2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals, which indicated that the use of BSPs might be a potential approach for antioxidant supplements. Thus, this study gives insights about the structure-function relationship of BSPs, which will be beneficial to improve the quality of polysaccharides derived from marine algae.

The biological activities of these polysaccharides are related to their compositional and structural parameters, whereby their degree of sulfation, as well as molecular weight (MW) distribution and chain conformation play important roles. Modern NMR and mass spectrometry techniques allow elucidating details of the glycan structure, but not the structure of the whole molecules in their native state. Accordingly, the knowledge about the latter of the fucoidans is currently still limited. Contrary to traditional MW determination by SEC with column calibration, SEC with triple detection provides not only the absolute Mw, but can also give information on additional molecule characteristics. In the present study, we used this method to compare six fucoidans extracted from Fucus vesiculosus (FV), F. serratus (FS), F. evanescens (FE), Dictyosiphon foeniculaceus (DF), Laminaria digitata (LD), and Saccharina latissima (SL) concerning their molar mass (Mw, Mn, Mp, dispersity) and size (rms radius, Rh) characteristics and distribution as well as their chain conformation in solution. The tested fucoidans displayed considerable structural diversity including large differences in their MW profiles and showed to be heterogeneously composed. Fuc-FV and Fuc-SL showed the broadest MW distributions, those from Fuc-FE and Fuc-DF the narrowest ones. Most of the fucoidan fractions (except for Fuc-DF) turned out to exist as expanded flexible chains in PBS solution. The conformation data suggest branched structures with partly long side chains. The knowledge obtained by this study is useful for further fractionation and structural characterization as well as the interpretation of the bioactivity differences between the various fucoidans.

Abstract
The effects of fermentation by Lactobacillus plantarum dy-1 on the main structural changes of barley β-glucan and their in vitro activities were studied. Molecular characteristics, infrared spectroscopy, monosaccharide composition, methylation, 1D and 2D-NMR analyses and scanning electron microscopy revealed that both (raw barley β-glucan) RBG and fermented barley β-glucan (FBG) are polysaccharides predominanted by β-(1→3) and β-(1→4) linked glucose. However, different molecular weight (decreasing from 1.13×105 D to 6.35×104 D), the ratio of the β-(1→3) residues to the β-(1→4) residues (ranging from 1:1.98-1:2.50 to 1:1.8-1:2.24) and microstructure features (transforming from a rod-like to sheet-like structure) were observed. Bioassay results showed that FBG exhibited improved inhibitory activities of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and lipase, as well as the adsorption of cholesterol under acidic conditions compared to RBG. These results suggested that fermentation may enhance in vitro physiological activities of barley β-glucan, especially related to glucose and lipid metabolism.
