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 ...

Unravelling the Intraspecific Variation in Drought Responses in Seedlings of European Black Pine (Pinus Nigra J.F. Arnold)

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding intraspecific variation in drought tolerance is essential for predicting the adaptive capacity of forest species under climate change. Yet, the molecular basis of this variation remains poorly understood in ecologically and economically important conifers.

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.

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.

Divergent structure–function coordination shapes leaf thermal tolerance in Mediterranean tree species

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Tcrit (critical temperature) may reflect early, adaptive photoprotective downregulation of PSII in Quercus ilex, whereas in Acer campestre and Fraxinus ornus, it may more closely correspond to the onset of thermal PSII vulnerability. Abstract Increasing temperatures impair photosynthetic apparatus by damaging photosystem II (PSII) efficiency.

Bioavailability of lutein from a lutein-enriched egg-yolk beverage and its dried re-suspended versions

, 2014
Drying a fresh lutein-enriched egg-yolk beverage would extend its shelf life, however, functional properties should not be affected. It was investigated whether consumption of a dried beverage containing lutein-enriched egg-yolk significantly increases ...

Spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping for crop water stress assessment: A review

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Water stress is a major limiting factor for crop productivity worldwide, and its impacts are intensifying due to climate variability and increasing water scarcity. This review focuses on the spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping as a critical approach to improving crop water‐stress assessment and supporting precision water ...

Scientific Opinion on the re‐evaluation of lutein preparations other than lutein with high concentrations of total saponified carotenoids at levels of at least 80%

EFSA Journal, 2011
Lutein is a carotenoid colour authorised as a food additive in the EU (E 161b) and reevaluated by the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) in 2010.

Preharvest supplemental lighting enhances productivity and modulates postharvest quality in hydroponically grown Apulian unripe melon ‘Scopatizzo’ ( Cucumis melo L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 7666-7681, October 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Preharvest light management is increasingly used to enhance yield and fruit quality in soilless systems, yet its effects on unripe melon fruits remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of supplemental red–blue light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting applied during cultivation in a closed‐cycle hydroponic system on ...

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 ...
