Role of fucoidan sulfation and of other sulfated glycans.
Progenitor mobilization was induced in E−/− mice with 2 doses of glycans over 6 hours. The number of progenitors per milliliter of blood recovered after administration of (A) native or desulfated fucoidan (25 mg/kg), (B) heparin (100 units per mouse), sulfatide (25 mg/kg), or PBS. n = 3-6, *P < .05.
