Marine Carotenoids against Oxidative Stress: Effects on Human Health.

摘要: Carotenoids are lipid-soluble pigments that produced in some plants, algae, fungi, and bacterial species, which accounts for their orange yellow hues. powerful antioxidants thanks to ability quench singlet oxygen, be oxidized, isomerized, scavenge free radicals, plays a crucial role the etiology of several diseases. Unusual marine environments associated with great chemical diversity, resulting novel bioactive molecules. Thus, organisms may represent an important source biologically active substances development therapeutics. In this respect, various carotenoids have recently been isolated from displayed utilizations as nutraceuticals pharmaceuticals. Marine (astaxanthin, fucoxanthin, β-carotene, lutein but also rare siphonaxanthin, sioxanthin, myxol) shown antioxidant properties reducing oxidative stress markers. This review aims describe against potential applications preventing treating inflammatory
