Nerve growth factor differentiated PC12 cells were used to examine the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of astaxanthin (AX) and canthaxanthin (CX). PC12 cells were pretreated with AX or CX at 10 or 20 muM, and followed by exposure of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) or
In the screening of DNA polymerase (pol) inhibitor, we isolated lutein, a carotenoid, from the crude (unrefined) pressed oil of canola (low erucic acid rapeseed, Brassica napus L.). Commercially prepared carotenoids such as lutein (1), zeaxanthin (2), beta-cryptoxanthin (3), astaxanthin (4),
Beta carotene, canthaxanthin, and a carotenoid mixture from an extract of algae were shown to prevent or inhibit the gross development of squamous cell carcinoma induced in the hamster buccal pouch by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene. The carotenoids, dissolved in mineral oil, were administered by
