zeaxanthin

Zeaxanthin is a dietary carotenoid that accumulates in the retina (particularly the macula) and has antioxidant activity that may improve obesity, prevent age-related macular degeneration, and protect against nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Zeaxanthin dipalmitate (Physalien) is a lutein carotenoid found in fruits with anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and anti-oxidative stress activity that attenuates ethanol-induced liver injury.Zeaxanthin dipalmitate restores mitochondrial autophagy, a function that has been inhibited by ethanol intoxication. Zeaxanthin dipalmitate protects degenerated photoreceptors in the retina of mice and improves visual acuity in a mouse model of photoreceptor degeneration, and may be used in studies of alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

meso-Zeaxanthin accumulates in the central retina and, together with lutein and zeaxanthin, forms the macular pigment, which functions as a light filter. meso-Zeaxanthin can quench reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby exhibiting antioxidant properties.

(rac)-Zeaxanthin dimethyl ether is the racemic form of zeaxanthin dimethyl ester. Zeaxanthin belongs to the group of luteins. (rac)-Zeaxanthin dimethyl ether is applicable in pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, and the food industry.

Zeaxanthin (Standard) is the standard substance of Zeaxanthin, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Zeaxanthin is a dietary carotenoid that accumulates in the retina (particularly the macula) and has antioxidant activity that may improve obesity, prevent age-related macular degeneration, and protect against nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Isozeaxanthin is a carotenoid that can be isolated from certain Antarctic fish species, including those from the Rajidae and Notothenidae families.
