Protective Effect of Zeaxanthin from Lycium barbarum L. on Ultraviolet B-Induced Skin Photodamage in Mice Through Nrf2-Related Pathway [PDF]
AntioxidantsUltraviolet (UV) radiation is a predominant cause of skin damage, with UVB leading to more severe harm compared to UVA. Lycium barbarum L. (L. barbarum) is known for its high carotenoid content and has shown great potential in mitigating UVB-induced skin

Zeaxanthin as a Broiler Pigmenter
Poultry Science, 1976 Abstract Zeaxanthin in a stabilized gelatin beadlet formulation was evaluated as a broiler pigmenter in 2 trials. In the first experiment, low oxycarotenoid basal broiler starter and grower rations were fed continuously for 7 weeks with zeaxanthin added to both of the rations at concentrations of 11, 22 and 33 mg./kg. Zeaxanthin was compared to three
