TAP: The Total Antioxidant Power assay quantifies the combined action of all antioxidants present in the sample capable of reduction of Cu2+ followed by formation of a stable Cu+-bathocuproine complex that can be quantified at 480 nm
The research experiment employed in vitro models of microglia and nerve injury (including zebrafish in vivo experiments, cerebral ischemia rat models, neuronal injury models, Alzheimers disease 5xFAD mouse models, and spinal cord injury rat models)
Suppressive effects of amarouciaxanthin A on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation through down-regulation of PPAR and C/EBP mRNA expression
Studies have shown that this antioxidant activity can improve skin brightness (by reducing melanin), increase skin moisture, improve skin elasticity and minimize the appearance of wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful skin, all without significant side effects
