In this review, steroids with a tertiary butyl group, which are usually called neo steroids, are a
small group of natural lipids isolated from higher plants, fungi, marine sponges, and yeast. In …

Epidemiological investigations have shown that overcoming the risk of cancer is related to
the consumption of green vegetables and fruits. Many compounds from different origins …

Natural bioactives are an excellent source of carotenoids for the production of
nutraceuticals, functional foods and food additives. The extraction efficiencies of solid-liquid …

Fucoxanthin (FUCO), a marine carotenoid is photo-, and thermo-labile and poorly
bioavailable due to its lipophilicity. Hence, we developed a chitosan (CS)+ glycolipid (GL) …

Increasing evidence is suggesting that amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), a characteristic of
Alzheimer's disease (AD), induces oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to …

Obesity, characterized as a state of low-level inflammation, is a powerful determinant
influencing the development of insulin resistance and progression to type 2 diabetes. The …

Fucoxanthin, one of the most abundant carotenoids from edible brown seaweeds, for years
