Fucoidan is a complex of sulfated polysaccharides derived from non-mammalian origin such as marine brown algae and induces cytokine expression. We investigated the effect of fucoidan on concanavalin A (Con A)-induced liver injury in mice. Liver injury was induced by an intravenous injection of Con A (18.5 mg/kg). Various doses of fucoidan (1-30 mg/kg) were intravenously administered 30 min before Con A injection. The plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and several cytokines levels were determined, and hepatic histological changes were also assessed. The effect of fucoidan administration by itself on induction of interleukin (IL)-10 in plasma and liver tissue was investigated. Con A administration induced an elevation of plasma ALT level, and fucoidan...
