A synthesis is provided of the roles carotenoids zeaxanthin and/or lutein in opposing (i) photodamage plants, (ii) to human eye as well cognitive dysfunction and a host diseases disorders, (iii) damage extremophile microorganisms most inhospitable environments on earth. Selected examples are used examine microenvironments basic biological structures with which these xanthophylls associate effec...

PURPOSE To investigate carotenoid content in the retina of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), for comparison with carotenoids in human retina, and to assess the effects of different saponification procedures on the recovery of quail retinal carotenoids. METHODS Extracted retinal carotenoids were saponified with methods adapted from recent studies, then identified and quantified with reverse-...

The ch1 mutant of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) lacks chlorophyll (Chl) b. Leaves of this mutant are devoid of photosystem II (PSII) Chl-protein antenna complexes and have a very low capacity of nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) of Chl fluorescence. Lhcb5 was the only PSII antenna protein that accumulated to a significant level in ch1 mutant leaves, but the apoprotein did not assemble in vi...

Abstract The study aimed to assess the effect of dietary inulin (1% inclusion) supplements on broiler chickens’ meat antioxidant compounds. experiment was carried out under heat-stress conditions, 60 Ross 308 chickens. took place in an experimental hall with digestibility pens and controlled humidity, ventilation light regime. Each treatment (2 groups, C E) replicated 6 times 5 chicks per repli...

Microalgae are described as a potential alternative source of bioactive compounds that environmentally friendly. Dunaliella on its own is well known due to accumulate large amounts carotenoids, especially β-carotene. Green and orange biomasses from new salina strain DunaDZ1 isolated an Algerian Salt Lake were evaluated for carotenoids composition antioxidant activity. Ultrasound-Assisted Extrac...
