Brown algae nanoencapsulation and Podocyturia

In the last few years, a great interest has been developed to extract bioactive compounds especially polysaccharides from algae because of their numerous health beneficial effects. Like all the brown algae, the species Turbinaria triquetra (T. triquetra) comprises primary algal metabolites. Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) have been thoroughly researched for the delivery of different antioxidant and anti-cancer agents due to the beneficial biological characteristics of chitosan such as its safety, biodegradability, biocompatibility bioadhesive, permeability enhancing and cationic properties. podocyturia, is a marker of subclinical early renal damage, which may be a detectable way before the occurrence of overt proteinuria and development of full-blown glomerular disease.
