   CA00043  Lycopene
  • Anti-apoptic agent - preventing loss of Bcl2 and Bcl-xL, preventing accumulation of Bax, preventing accumulation or release of Cytochrome C, and preventing accumulation or activation of Caspase 3 (Ref.782).

  •    CA00309  β-Carotene
  • Anti-apoptic agent - preventing loss of Bcl2, preventing accumulation of Bax, and preventing accumulation or activation of Caspase 3 (Ref.782). β-carotene derived retinoid acids bind with retinoid acid receptor (PAR) and retinoid X receptor are dimerized and regulate genes during neurogenesis and neuroprotection against apoptosis (Ref.782).

  •    CA00328  Zeaxanthin
  • Anti-apoptic agent - preventing accumulation or activation of Caspase 3 (Ref.782).

  •    CA00502  (3S,3'S)-Astaxanthin
  • Anti-apoptic agent - preventing loss of Bcl2, preventing accumulation of Bax, and preventing accumulation or activation of Caspase 3 (Ref.782).

  •    CA00519  Fucoxanthin
  • Anti-apoptic agent - preventing loss of Bcl2, preventing accumulation of Bax, preventing accumulation or release of Cytochrome C, and preventing accumulation or activation of Caspase 3 (Ref.782).

  •    CA00597  Lutein
  • Anti-apoptic agent - preventing loss of Bcl2 and Bcl-xL, preventing accumulation of Bax, preventing accumulation or release of Cytochrome C, and preventing accumulation or activation of Caspase 3 (Ref.782). Fucoxanthin potentially binds directly to amyloid-β, preventing formation of pathological amyloid-beta fibril (Ref.782).
