Abstract: A composition comprising a phlorotannin or a ?-fucan, or a combination thereof, for use in priming the endocrine system and enhancing insulin sensitivity, and for use in treating or preventing a disease or condition of an animal caused or facilitated by insulin insensitivity or insulin resistance such as obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, T2DM, CVD, NAFLD, Metabolic Syndrome, kidney disease, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Depression, Alzheimer's, and/or for preventing or treating one or more of the symptoms of elevated blood glucose, hypertension, proinflammatory or inflammation state and prothrombotic state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least about 8% ?-glucans and/or at least about 8% ?-fucans, which has a prebiotic effect and act as a replacement for in-feed antibiotics. The present invention also relates to extraction methods to obtain such extracts and various uses for the compositions comprising ?-glucans and/or ?-fucans.

Abstract: A non-nematicidal composition comprises at least one glucan and/or at least one fucan which act individually or synergistically with mannitol to reduce losses in crop yield and marketable grade caused by the infestation of growth media with plant pathogenic nematodes, to levels equivalent to those achieved with commercial nematicides, but without posing a risk to the ecosystem or user. In some cases the composition comprises at least one glucan, at least one fucan and at least one mannitol which may be in a weight/weight ratio of approximately 1:2:3 of at least one glucan:at least one fucan:at least one mannitol or between approximately 1:1:1 to 1:1:3 of at least one glucan:at least one fucan:at least one mannitol.
