Background . According to current concepts regarding hepatic fibrosis, myofibroblast differentiation from stellate cells, regulated by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), is a key step in its pathogenesis. Hence, inhibition of TGF-β-dependent activation cells has been suggested as promising strategy for preventing the disease development. Aim To explore whether administration fucoxanthin at d...

We investigated the effects of fucoxanthin isolated from edible macroalga Dilophys fasciola on pathogenic microbes and probiotics in vitro antioxidant activity fucoxanthin. The yield concentration obtained crude was 50.5% found strong inhibition against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus Listeria monocytogenes, lower Gram-negative bacteria fungi. probiotic strains progressed between 1.2 1.67 l...

Marine animals contain various carotenoids that show structural diversity. These marine animals accumulate carotenoids from foods such as algae and other animals and modify them through metabolic reactions. Many of the carotenoids present in marine animals are metabolites of β-carotene, fucoxanthin, peridinin, diatoxanthin, alloxanthin, and astaxanthin, etc. Carotenoids found in these animals p...
