Radical Scavenging Activity-Based and AP-1-Targeted Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Lutein in Macrophage-Like and Skin Keratinocytic Cells by Jueun Oh, Ji Hye Kim, Jae Gwang Park, Young-Su Yi, Kye Won Park, Ho Sik Rho, Min-Seuk Lee, Jae Won Yoo, Seung-Hyun Kang, Yong Deog Hong, Song Seok Shin, Jae Youl Cho

“…By evaluating the intracellular signaling pathway and the nuclear transcription factor levels, we determined that lutein inhibited the activation of redox-sensitive AP-1 pathway by suppressing the activation of p38 and c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK). Evaluation of the radical and ROS scavenging activities further revealed that lutein was able to act as a strong anti-oxidant. …”
