Lutein
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Lutein (Xanthophyll) is a carotenoid with reported anti-inflammatory properties. A large body of evidence shows that lutein has several beneficial effects, especially on eye health. Lutein exerts its biological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidase and anti-apoptosis, through effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS). Lutein is able to arrive in the brain and shows antidepressant-like and neuroprotective effects. Lutein is orally active.

Biological Activity
Lutein (100 or 200 μM) protects against A2-PE (a bis-retinoid compound that is the immediate precursor of the lipofuscin fluorophore A2E) photooxidation and reduces A2E photooxidation[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Lutein (0.1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; once or daily for 7 and 21 days) prevents Corticosterone (HY-B1618)-induced depressive-like behavior in mice with the involvement of antioxidant and neuroprotective activities[4].

-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley rats, severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) model[3]
-
Dosage:40, 80 and 160 mg/kg
-
Administration:In diet for 5 weeks
-
Result:Suppressed, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression, reduced serum ROS levels, and reduced superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities. Effectively downregulated the expression of NF-κB p65 and cyclooxygenase-2, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 protein, and upregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2 (Nrf-2) and endothelin-1 protein levels.
-
Animal Model:Male Swiss mice, chronic Corticosterone (HY-B1618) model of depression[4]
-
Dosage:0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral administration, once or daily for 7 and 21 days
-
Result:Decreased immobility time at the dose 10 mg/kg. Counteracted the behavioral changes displayed by Corticosterone (HY-B1618) showing antidepressant-like effect. Presented antioxidant effect in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and plasma of mice, and exhibited a capability to protect hippocampal and prefrontal cortex slices against glutamatergic toxicity.
