Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory and cognitive function impairment. In recent decades, the prevalence of AD has risen significantly. It may have a considerable effect and obstacles on the well-being and the ability to lead a healthy life of the affected patients. The excessive accumulation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) in [...]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most severe chronic neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by memory impairment and cognitive dysfunction due to neuronal loss, mainly in the neocortex and hippocampus. The incidence of AD has increased dramatically in the last decades. Nowadays, there are many unknown aspects regarding the physiopathology of AD. Various theories have tried to [...]

Carotenoids have a polyene chain and long conjugated double bonds. The structure of these compounds is responsible for antioxidant activity, such as the hardening of singlet oxygen and the removal of radicals to complete the chain reactions. The structure of astaxanthin consists of a conjugated polyene chain in the center and hydroxyl and ketone moieties on [...]
The maturation of Haematococcus Pluvialis cells and the passage through successive stages of life cycles result in an altered biochemical profile of the cell. Most Haematococcus Pluvialis green stage cells are characterized by high protein content of 29%–45% per dry weight (d.w.). Protein content in palmella decreases to 36% d.w., while in the red stage cells, this content is [...]
Sea buckthorn has hypoglycemic potential; we conducted a test to determine its effects on glucose in people with impaired glucose regulation (IGR). A total of 38 subjects with IGR completed the intervention of consuming sea buckthorn fruit puree (90 mL/day, five weeks), washing out (four weeks), and then consuming placebo (90 mL/day, five weeks). Our results [...]
