Fucoxanthin rescues dexamethasone induced C2C12 myotubes atrophy
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2021 Muscle atrophy and weakness are the adverse effects of long-term or high dose usage of glucocorticoids. In the present study, we explored the effects of fucoxanthin (10 μM) on dexamethasone (10 μM)-induced atrophy in C2C12 myotubes and investigated its underlying mechanisms.

Fucoxanthin Induced Suicidal Death of Human Erythrocytes [PDF]
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015 Background/Aims: Fucoxanthin, a carotenoid isolated from brown seaweeds, induces suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus considered for the treatment or prevention of malignancy. In analogy to apoptosis of nucleated cell, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis, the suicidal death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling ...

Temporal patterns of fucoxanthin in four species of European marine brown macroalgae
Scientific Reports, 2023 Brown seaweeds are a rich source of carotenoids, particularly fucoxanthin, which has a wide range of potential health applications. Fucoxanthin fluctuates within and among seaweeds over time, frustrating efforts to utilise this resource. Thus, we require
