Insights on the safety of carotenogenic Chlorella vulgaris in rodents

Chlorella vulgaris (Cv) biomass is widely used as a traditional food in the Orient and its safety for human consumption has been proved. However, carotenogenic biomass (orange), resulting from induced stresses, needs further safety evaluation, which is the aim of this study. The preliminary toxicological characterization of Cv consisted of a single dose (mice), repeated dose studies (mice and rats) and a biodis...

Incorporation of 2-styrylchromones in liposomes: preliminaries studies

Several compounds with a 2-styrylchromone chemical structure have been shown to hold a high antioxidant activity in vitro, at low concentrations, which indicates a potential therapeutic value that needs to be confirmed in vivo [1-2] . The evaluation of the antioxidant potential of 2- styrylcromones, in vivo, is expected to beneficiate from a formulation that delivers the compound to specific target sites. Due t...
