ABSTRACT:
A method of inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in an animal or man, is disclosed. The method comprises administration to said animal or man of at least one type of xanthophyll, e.g. astaxanthin, in an amount inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in said animal or man. Use of at least one type of xanthophyll, such as astaxanthin, for the preparation of a medicament for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic inhibition of the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in an animal or man, is described. Further, a commercial package containing a medicament comprising at least one type of xanthophyll, e.g. astaxanthin, and written and/or data carrier instructions for administration to an animal or man of the medicament for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic inhibition of the express of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, is disclosed.
