Novel Hydrurus species (Chrysophyceae) and their adaptations to high‐altitude European and Arctic snowfields

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Colored snow caused by green algae (Chlorophyceae) is well known, but melting snowpacks can also harbor golden‐brown blooms consisting of Chrysophyceae. We collected 14 samples of cryoflora in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the High Tatras in Slovakia, and in Arctic Svalbard. Eight laboratory unicellular flagellated strains were established from

Association between lutein intake and lung function in adults : the Rotterdam Study [PDF]

, 2017
Lutein, a fat-soluble carotenoid with antioxidant properties, may have an effect on respiratory health. However, the evidence is inconsistent. We aimed to cross-sectionally investigate the association between lutein intake and lung function by measuring ...

Perceptions of Medications and Supplements by U.S. Dog‐Interested Members of the Public and Final‐Year Veterinary Students

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary graduates must be prepared to educate clients about medications and supplements. We surveyed 1955 Dog Aging Project newsletter recipients and 40 final‐year veterinary students at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences on their perceptions about medications and supplements. Respondents indicated whether each

Lutein inhibits glutamate-induced apoptosis in HT22 cells via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionExcessive glutamate levels induce oxidative stress, resulting in neuronal damage, and cell death. While natural antioxidants show promise for neuroprotection, their effectiveness in the central nervous system (CNS) is limited by the blood ...

Suppression of hyperexcitability of trigeminal nociceptive neurons associated with inflammatory hyperalgesia following systemic administration of lutein via inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 cascade signaling

Journal of Inflammation, 2018
Introduction Lutein is a dietary constituent known to inhibit inflammation; however, its effect on nociceptive neuron-associated hyperalgesia remains to be determined.

A Narrative Review of Candidate Biomarkers of Total Fruit and Vegetable Intake

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While an abundance of cohort studies has suggested that greater consumption of fruits and vegetables (FVs) is associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases, current self‐report based dietary assessment tools are susceptible to biases that can reduce their accuracy in estimating dietary intakes, and consequently, the risk estimates obtained ...

Revealing the mechanism of the lutein protective function of epicatechin-fructan glycosylated soybean protein isolate

Current Research in Food Science
Lutein possesses various physiological activities but is susceptible to light degradation, thermal degradation, and oxidative degradation. As such, protecting the activity of lutein-based products using natural extracts has become a current research.

Long-term oral feeding of lutein-fortified milk increases voluntary running distance in rats.

PLoS ONE, 2014
To evaluate the effects of lutein-fortified milk administration on running exercise, a voluntary wheel-running model was performed in rats. Four-week-old F344 rats were administered test milk (10 mL/kg) daily following a 4-h fasting period, and their ...
