Phytosterols of marine algae, particularly fucosterol, have been investigated for a plethora of health benefits, including anti-diabetes, anti-obesity, anti-Alzheimer’s, antiaging, anticancer, and hepatoprotection, among many others, which are attributed to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and cholesterol-lowering properties.
Beyond all these concerns in human health benefits, uncovering the biological mystery why a particular phytosterol is highly accumulated in specific algal class under a defined living condition while others lack or contain a very little might shed light on some of the essential health effects of algal sterols.
