Description

Fucoxanthin exerts great influence over people\&#**9;s way of losing weight. AlgaNovo Fucoxanthin What is Fucoxanthin? Botanical name: Fucoxanthin Chemical name: 3\&#**9;-(Acetyloxy)*6\&#**9;, 7\&#**9;-didehydro*5, *-epoxy*5, 5\&#**9;, 6, 6\&#**9;, 7, *-hexahydro *3, 5\&#**9;-dihydroxy**-oxo-beta, beta-carotene Molecular formula: C*2H*8O6 Chemical structure: Fucoxanthin is an oxygenated carotenoid available in different types of edible algae, such as Laminaria japonica, Undaria pinnatifida, and Hijikia fusiformis. It is brown, as is known to give algae its characteristic coloring. Fucoxanthin absorbs light primarily from blue green to yellow green part of visible spectrum, significantly in the range of **0 to **0 nm. Current science With its high-active and enriched-electron polyene carbon chain, Fucoxanthin possesses the property of anti-peroxiding free radicals, which protects cells and tissues from the damaging of free radicals. Some metabolic and nutritional studies carried at Hokkaido University indicated that fucoxanthin shows antiobesity effect through UCP1 expression in white adipose tissues. In other studies, fucoxanthin exerted an antiproliferative effect by inducing cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase in human colon carcinoma cells. Concomitantly, this compound has been shown to have growth-inhibitory effects on various cell lines, *****, prostate cancer PC*3, DU **5, and LNCaP cells, leukemia HL**0 cells, colon cancer HT**9, Caco*2, and DLD*1 cells, and neuroblastoma GOTO cell.
