Suppression of Blood-Sugar Level

Influences of fucoidan on blood-sugar level were investigated by use of enzyme electrode method. Two groups of KK-Ay mice (model mice for high blood-sugar/diabetes) were bred, for two months, on an ordinary feed and a fucoidan-mix feed, respectively. Their blood-sugar levels were determined every 10 days. Blood-sugar level was substantially suppressed in the fucoidan-mix fed mice.
