Aplysia kurodai-derived glycosaminoglycans increase the phagocytic ability of macrophages via the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase and cytoskeletal reorganization in RAW264.7 cells

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) control a variety of physiological processes, but the roles of GAGs in inflammatory processes are unclear. Compared to mammals, sea hares are safer and good materials for massive production of GAG. This study was performed to identify the role of GAG isolated from the sea h...
