Zeaxanthin is a dietary carotenoid that has been found in orange and yellow fruits and has diverse biological activities.{57132,57131,57130,16577,16578} In vivo, zeaxanthin (50 mg/kg) decreases immobility time in the forced swim test and reduces hippocampal levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ; Item No. 13104).{57132} It also reduces albuminuria, serum levels of urea nitrogen and malondialdehyde (MDA), and kidney damage in a rat model of STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy.{57131} It forms the macular pigment in human eyes, and high dietary intake of zeaxanthin is positively correlated with reduced risk of advanced neovascular age-related macular degeneration in humans.{57130,16577,16578}

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 250 mg

    The tetracycline repressor (TetR) is a transcriptional regulator which normally binds tightly to its palindromic tetO operator DNA, blocking gene expression.{17508} Tet causes the repressor to dissociate from the DNA, allowing transcription to occur. A novel reverse TetR (revTetR) requires tetracycline as a co-repressor to bind tetO and block transcription.{17509,17510} Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) is a powerful effector in both the tetracycline repressor (TetR) and reverse TetR (revTetR) systems, binding the Tet repressor 35-fold more strongly than Tet.{17508,17511} Moreover, anhydrotetracycline poorly binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, compared to Tet,{17512} so it does not act as a general inhibitor of translation and is a poor antibiotic. Perhaps related to this, the concentration of anhydrotetracycline that inhibits eukaryotic cell growth is more than a 1,000-fold above the dose that alters transcription through TetR.{17508}
