Cladophora rupestris, Chaetomorpha antennina & Ulva linza had showed
good inhibitory results in antioxidant and antidiabetic inhibition assays.
Therefore it can be used in dietry supplements and in therapeutic use for
the treatment of diabetes. Though Butyric acid has good antioxidant
property, It also inhibits colonic tumor cells. The most important property
of Butyric acid is that, it can act as a HDAC inhibitor, inhibiting the
function of Histone Deacetylase enzymes. Due to present of Butyric acid in
these three marine seaweeds we can say that marine seaweeds have anti-
cancer properties. Therefore it can be used as antidiabetic properties and in
therapeautic use for the treatment of cancer.

  • 22. Cladophora rupestris, Chaetomorpha antennina & Ulva linza had showed good inhibitory results in antioxidant and antidiabetic inhibition assays. Therefore it can be used in dietry supplements and in therapeutic use for the treatment of diabetes. Though Butyric acid has good antioxidant property, It also inhibits colonic tumor cells. The most important property of Butyric acid is that, it can act as a HDAC inhibitor, inhibiting the function of Histone Deacetylase enzymes. Due to present of Butyric acid in these three marine seaweeds we can say that marine seaweeds have anti- cancer properties. Therefore it can be used as antidiabetic properties and in therapeautic use for the treatment of cancer.
