Effect of fucoidan on macrophage phagocytosis activity. The mice were administrated with fucoidan (FL, FM, FMH, FH) for 6 weeks. Peritoneal macrophage were isolated from mice and phagocytosis of fluorescence-labeled E. coli by macrophage was analyzed by flow cytometry. The macrophage to E. coli ratios were 25:1 and 50:1. All data were presented as mean ± SD (n = 10 mice/group). All experiments were performed in once per test condition. Different alphabets were significantly (p < 0.05).
