The current investigation aimed to determine the toxicity and hepatoprotective potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized rapidly using sulfated polysaccharide extract from Sargassum siliquosum, a brown alga. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), scanni...
