κ-Carrageenan Enhances Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Interleukin-8 Secretion by Stimulating the Bcl10-NF-κB Pathway in HT-29 Cells and Aggravates C. freundii-Induced Inflammation in Mice.
Wei Wu,Zhanghe Zhen,Tingting Niu,Xiaojuan Zhu,Gao Yuli,Jiangyan Yan,Yu Chen,Xiaojun Yan,Haimin Chen +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether carrageenan could enhance lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-8 expression by studying its actions on the TLR4-NF-κB pathway.
Fucoxanthin Prevents 6-OHDA-Induced Neurotoxicity by Targeting Keap1.
Wei Wu,Hui Han,Jingwangwei Liu,Min Tang,Xiaoyu Wu,Xiaojun Cao,Tiantian Zhao,Yujia Lu,Tingting Niu,Juanjuan Chen,Haimin Chen +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the neuroprotective effect of fucoxanthin (FUC) was assessed using a 6-hydroxydopamine- (6-OHDA-) induced neurotoxicity model.
Dietary κ-carrageenan facilitates gut microbiota-mediated intestinal inflammation
Jason Tougaw,Wei Wu,Jiawei Zhou,Rongrong Xuan,Juanjuan Chen,Hui Han,Jingwangwei Liu,Tingting Niu,Haimin Chen,Feng Wang +9 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that carrageenan (CGN) does not cause significant inflammatory symptoms but it did cause reduced bacteria-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and decreased thickness of the mucus layer by altering microbiota composition.

Safety assessment of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis: Acute toxicity, genotoxicity, distribution and repeat-dose toxicity studies in gestation mice.
TL;DR: Administration of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis throughout pregnancy had no adverse effect on mice, and during pregnancy, the liver accumulated the highest content of astrixanthin, while the eye exhibited the least.
