Geroprotective properties of fucoxanthin

Introduction . Fucoxanthin is one of the main representatives marine carotenoids with a wide range biological activities, including geroprotective effect. The most common source fucoxanthin in food industry diatomic algae (e.g., Phaeodactylum tricornutum). aim work was to summarize and analyze data on mechanisms action fucoxanthin. Materials Methods An analysis scientific research publications from PubMed, E-Library, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, UpToDate databases presented, as well review literature for period 2017 2022. results use animal human cell cultures, where drug proved be potential geroprotector, are reflected. Inclusion criteria: priority given original articles that presented application. Key words search publications: fucoxanthin, oxidative stress, hormesis. Results Discussion In-depth study structure revealed its pharmacodynamics drug. Many positive pharmacological effects realized due presence an allene bond chemical structure. influence stress aging at different levels organization (molecular, cellular, tissue, organ). Deterioration vision often problem elderly properties organism. hypothesis realizes effect cytoprotective under popular. whole organism directly related differential expression genes changes activity molecular pathways. In transcriptome effects, activation hormesis evident. Conclusion Studies have shown effectiveness therapeutic agent treatment diseases associated process.
