| Unlike the other Chromista, Xanthophyta completely lack the brown pigment fucoxanthin. |
|
| Most also contain carotenoid pigments, such as the brown pigment fucoxanthin, that give the cells a yellow, orange, or brown color. |
|
| Researchers noted a particular compound found in wakame, a carotenoid called fucoxanthin, probably contributed to this effect. |
|
| Seaweeds, for example, contain compounds including fucoxanthin, lutein and astaxanthin. |
|
| Recent studies conducted on fucoxanthin have really peeked the interest of the scientific community. |
|
| This is also the case with other carotenoids used as nutritional supplements, including lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin and fucoxanthin. |
|
| Putative releasers or antioxidant protection may occur with fucoxanthin, beet root, spirulina, spinach, Ashwagandha, grape seed extract. |
|
| However, the dinoflagellates Karenia brevis, Karenia mikimotoi, and Karlodinium micrum have acquired other pigments through endosymbiosis, including fucoxanthin. |
|
| Cultivated microalgae and the carotenoid fucoxanthin from Odontella aurita as potent antiproliferative agents in bronchopulmonary and epithelial cell lines. |
|
| An interesting, extra, metabolic benefit of fucoxanthin administration in rodents is the promotion of the synthesis of docosahexanoic acid in the liver. |
|
| Fucoxanthin also appears to stimulate the production of DHA, one of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish such as salmon. |
|
| Fucoxanthin, extracted from the brown seaweed Undaria pinnatifida, has been shown to facilitate weight loss by stimulating production of a protein responsible for oxidation and breakdown of fats. |
|
| Fucoxanthin, derived from brown seaweeds, has shown anti-adipose capability through modulating the elevation of ROS, and down-regulation of lipid metabolism genes. |
|
| Fucoxanthin and canthaxanthin produced a 3-5-fold higher retention of the fluorescent probes than the known competitive inhibitor verapamil. |
