Biological Context
Norbixin is a carotenoid that has been found in B. orellana and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4 It binds to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in a cell-free assay (Ki = 1.15 µM).1 Norbixin (47.7 mg/kg) attenuates hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance, as well as decreases serum lipid levels and cardiac levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and glutathione (GSH) in a rat model of cardio-metabolic syndrome. It decreases serum levels of oxidized LDL and aortic protein oxidation, as well as reduces atherosclerotic area, in a rabbit model of cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis.2 Norbixin (0.1 and 1 mg/kg per day) reduces mercury-induced DNA damage in isolated rat hepatocytes and leukocytes.3 It also prevents photoreceptor degeneration in an Abca4-/- Rdh8-/- mouse model of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).4
