Polysaccharide-mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Sargassum siliquosum J.G. Agardh: Assessment of toxicity and hepatoprotective activity

Polysaccharide-mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Sargassum siliquosum J.G. Agardh: Assessment of toxicity and hepatoprotective activity

The current investigation aimed to determine the toxicity and hepatoprotective potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized rapidly using sulfated polysaccharide extract from Sargassum siliquosum, a brown alga. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), scanni...
