Carotenoid-based signals in behavioural ecology : a review (2011, background): “Consequently, different tissue and cell types may respond to dietary carotenoids in different, possibly even opposing, ways (Chew & Park, 2004).”
Astaxanthin-Producing Green Microalga Haematococcus pluvialis: From Single Cell to High Value Commercial Products (2016, background): “The immunomodulating capacity of astaxanthin has been found to be superior to that of β-carotene and canthaxanthin (Chew and Park, 2004).”
Silver nanoparticles in soil–plant systems (2013, background): “sativa plants, the induction of antioxidant activity by elevated carotenoids levels has earlier been confirmed to potentially reduce the toxic effects of ROS and its reaction products (Chew and Park 2004; He et al. 2011).”
Potential health-promoting effects of astaxanthin: a high-value carotenoid mostly from microalgae. (2011, background): “Growing evidence from tissue culture, animal, and clinical studies (Supporting Information Tables S1, S2, and S3) suggests that astaxanthin has potential health-promoting effects in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, such as cancers (gastric, colon, breast, prostate, oral, tongue, bla”
A Review of Micronutrients and the Immune System–Working in Harmony to Reduce the Risk of Infection (2020, background): “important for intestinal immune response, thus supporting the gut barrier [10–12]; carotenoids (either provitamin A or nonprovitamin A carotenoids) have immunoregulatory actions including reducing the toxic effects of ROS and regulating membrane fluidity and gap-junctional communication [13]”
Astaxanthin: Sources, Extraction, Stability, Biological Activities and Its Commercial Applications—A Review (2014, background): “In this study, T and B cells were increased, DNA damage was low, and C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly lower in the astaxanthin supplemented group [67,102,114].”
Strengthening the Immune System and Reducing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress through Diet and Nutrition: Considerations during the COVID-19 Crisis (2020, background): “Carotenoids may also impact immune function by regulating membrane fluidity and gap-junction communication [362].”
