Hypothetical model of inhibition of Aβ aggregation by carotenoids and apocarotenoids. In this hypothetical inhibition of Aβ aggregation, lutein, a carotenoid with non-pro-vitamin A, showed the higher inhibition follow by cryptocapsin, a carotenoid with pro-vitamin A. After, astaxanthin and fucoxanthin, both of them are carotenoids with non-pro-vitamin A, and finally, Bixin, apocatenoid without pro-vitamin A.
