| 1. | The fucoxanthin in this algae induces apoptosis of various cancer cells.
|
| 2. | Fucoxanthin is also found in haptophyte chloroplasts, providing evidence of ancestry.
|
| 3. | However, fucoxanthin-containing chloroplasts are also found among the haptophytes.
|
| 4. | Research on how fucoxanthin may have preventive effects on cancer is also being done.
|
| 5. | The dark brown colour is due to the combination of chlorophyll a, c and fucoxanthin.
|
| 6. | Their plastids also contain chlorophyll c and carotenoids ( the most widespread of those being fucoxanthin ).
|
| 7. | Fucoxanthin is isolated from a brown algae which has been reported to be a popular health food.
|
| 8. | Unlike other heterokonts, their chloroplasts do not contain fucoxanthin, which accounts for their lighter colour.
|
| 9. | Fucoxanthin is being looked into for its anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and anti-cancer effects.
|
| 10. | Major pigments of diatoms are chlorophylls a and c, beta-carotene, fucoxanthin, diatoxanthin and diadinoxanthin.
