Fucoidan levels in BBN-ingested rats fed fucoidan chow.

	Serum (ng/mL)	Liver (ng/mg Protein)
BBN rats (n = 4)	4.7 ± 1.4	0.7 ± 0.4
BBN + 0.2% fucoidan rats (n = 4)	8.4 ± 2.9	36.9 ± 11.5
BBN + 2% fucoidan rats (n = 4)	8.6 ± 2.9	67.9 ± 14.5 *

BBN rats fed standard chow for 8 weeks; BBN + fucoidan rats fed standard chow containing fucoidan for 8 weeks; Data represent the mean ± S.E. of 4 rats; * p < 0.05 significantly different from BBN rats; Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA.
