چکیده
Lutein is a xanthophyll carotenoid associated with cognitive improvement (Johnson, 2012). Nevertheless, this compound is very sensitive to external agents. Encapsulation procedures are able to slow down degradation processes and enhance bioavailability. This paper aims the preparation and characterization of lutein-loaded poly(vinyl pirrolidone) nanoparticles and its effect on mice’s declarative memory in object recognition task.

Introduction: There is evidence indicating that the rate of AD is lower in curry consuming populations. Then, there is an effort to elucidate if curcumin -as the main ingredient of turmeric- might affect the process of AD. However, in clinical trials of AD, a six-month curcumin treatment failed to show any progress, which might be attributable to its low bioavailability. In this line, a recent ...
