Additionally, Fx effectively alleviated LPS-induced extensive infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils into the intestinal mucosa, the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1beta (IL-1β) and IL-6, and gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis of IECs.

frequency of CD19+ B cells, memory B cells and activated follicular helper CD4+ T (Tfh) cells in PBMC cultures
decreases
Not recorded as a finding: assay instrument (presumably flow cytometry) is not named in the abstract; the lymphocyte-subpopulation-proportions node requires the assay to be stated
Importantly, fucoxanthin demonstrated significant immunomodulatory effects by reducing the frequency of key immune cell populations, including CD19+ B cells, memory B cells, and activated follicular helper CD4+ T (Tfh) cells in cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro.

NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, IL-1/IL-6/COX-2 release
decreases
Fucoxanthin inhibited PM2.5-mediated activation of nuclear factor κB and Nod-like receptor family protein 3 inflammasome and the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and cyclooxygenase-2.

retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival, FluoroGold labelling

Akt and GSK-3β activation state in SweAPP N2a cells
increases
Not recorded as a finding: the only sentence reporting this refers to fucoxanthin solely by the pronoun 'it', not by name, so it does not self-support without the preceding sentence; two sentences cannot be combined outside the arm-label exception
Mechanistically, it activated Akt and inactivated GSK-3β, effects reversed by PI3K inhibition.

BACE1 and glutaminyl cyclase (QC) protein/mRNA expression in SweAPP N2a cells
decreases
Not recorded as a finding: an expression readout, not a measurement of enzyme activity; mechanism_claims requires activity for the inhibits predicate, so this is not used, though the same paper's hippocampal-tissue sentence explicitly stating 'inhibition' was extractable
In SweAPP N2a cells, fucoxanthin (0.1-5 μM) significantly decreased BACE1 and QC expression, accompanied by reduced levels of Aβ1-42 and pE3-Aβ.

memory performance in an Aβ1-42-injected mouse model, compared to donepezil
increases
Not recorded as a finding: no validated memory instrument is named, and the working-memory outcome node requires the instrument to be recorded
In an Aβ1-42-injected mouse model, used for rapid induction of early amyloid pathology, oral administration of fucoxanthin (100 or 200 mg kg-1) improved memory performance, producing effects comparable to donepezil.
