| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid that occurs naturally in certain algae. It significantly reduces abdominal white adipose tissue (WAT) in mice and rats when included in their diet.1 Fucoxanthin increases the amount of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a fatty acid-stimulated protein involved in respiration and thermogenesis in WAT of mice and rats.1 In KK-Ay mice, which are used to model obese type 2 diabetics with hyperinsulinemia, fucoxanthin reduces WAT gain and also decreases blood glucose and plasma insulin levels.1,2 | [Chemical Properties]
Crystalline Solid | [Uses]
Fucoxanthin has been used to study its neuroprotective effects. It has also been used in calibration to identify the most efficient fucoxanthin producing strains of microalgae. | [Uses]
Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid pigment found in fresh brown algae.It can be used as an anti-obesity, anticancer, anti-cholesterol, and anti-diabetic agent and as a food colorant, but it is very unstable. It is easily affected by heating, aerial exposure, and illumination. | [Uses]

ChEBI: A natural product found in Sporochnus comosus. | [General Description]
Fucoxanthin is isolated from brown algae. It has anti-angiogenic, hepatoprotective,?cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective properties. Fucoxanthin stimulates G1 cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cell lines. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Xanthophyll carotenoid pigment extracted from algae. Exhibits anticancer, antioxidant, anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory properties. | [storage]
