In plant organisms, lutein, as an essential component of photosystems, fulfills the functions of light collection and photoprotection, among others. A photosystem consists of an antenna complex or light-collecting complex (light-collecting trap) and a reaction center, and is a collection of proteins and pigment molecules – chlorophylls and carotenoids. It is localized on the inner … Lutein: Functions
Chondroprotectants inhibit cartilage-degrading substances and thus reduce further loss of protective cartilage. At the same time, they promote the regeneration of cartilage tissue. Furthermore, they are said to have an anti-inflammatory effect. As a result, there is a reduction in pain, swelling and improved joint mobility. The greatest success is achieved by injecting chondroprotectants directly … Polyarthrosis: Cartilage-Protective Agents (Chondroprotectants)

Under certain conditions – e.g., age, growth phase, illness, or physical … Semi-essential Amino Acids
Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) is a fat-protein complex related to LDL (low-density lipoprotein), that is, ” bad cholesterol,” and is a major component of LDL cholesterol. It also bears a strong resemblance to the structure of plasminogen. Lipoprotein (a) is produced in the liver. It contains the apolipoproteins apo(a) and apo B-100, which are covalently linked … Lipoprotein(a)
