The aim of this study was to investigate the possible beneficial effects of fucoidan (FPS) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rats. Wistar rats were made diabetic by injection of STZ after removal of the right kidney. FPS was administered to these diabetic rats for 10 weeks. Body weight, physical activity, renal function, and renal morphometry were measured after 10 weeks of treatment. In the FPS-treated group, the levels of blood glucose, BUN, Ccr and Ucr decreased significantly, and microalbumin, serum insulin and the \u03b22-MG content increased significantly. Moreover, the FPS-treated group showed improvements in renal morphometry. In summary, FPS can ameliorate the metabolic abnormalities of diabetic rats and delay the progression of diabetic renal complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/md12063292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,30]],"date-time":"2014-05-30T12:00:34Z","timestamp":1401451234000},"page":"3292-3306","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["The Protective Effect of Fucoidan in Rats with  Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Nephropathy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071, China"},{"name":"Nantong Branch, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nantong,  Jiangsu 226006, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center for Marine Biomass Fibers, Materials and Textiles of Shandong Province, Qingdao 266071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huaide","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, Nantong University, Seyuan Road 9, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Quanbin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071, China"},{"name":"Nantong Branch, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nantong,  Jiangsu 226006, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center for Marine Biomass Fibers, Materials and Textiles of Shandong Province, Qingdao 266071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"795","DOI":"10.1016\/S0272-6386(99)70035-1","article-title":"End-stage renal failure in type 2 diabetes: A medical catastrophe of worldwide dimensions","volume":"34","author":"Ritz","year":"1999","journal-title":"Am.
