Fucoxanthin, the constituent of Laminaria japonica , triggers AMPK-mediated cytoprotection and autophagy in hepatocytes under oxidative stress
2018
Background
Laminaria japonica has frequently been used as a food supplement and drug in traditional oriental medicine. Among the major active constituents responsible for the bioactivities of L. japonica, fucoxanthin (FX) has been considered as a potential antioxidant. This study was conducted to examine the effects of L. japonica extract (LJE) or FX against oxidative stress on hepatocytes and to elucidate the overall their cellular mechanisms of the effects.
