The present invention relates to a method for adjunctive treatment of cancer by using a Lycogen composition to inhibit metastasis, comprising administering a Lycogen composition to the subject, wherein the Lycogen composition comprises an effective amount of a Lycogen extract, wherein the Lycogen extract comprises active ingredients selected from &#x3b6;-carotene, neurosporene, spheroidenone, methoxyneurosporene or a combination thereof.

Method for adjunctive treatment of cancer metastasis by using lycogen

A lycogen extract comprising active ingredient of &#x3b6;-carotene, neurosporene, spheroidenone and/or methoxyneurosporene is described. A composition comprising the lycogen extract of the present invention and food scientific or pharmaceutical acceptable carrier is also presented. A method for the treatment of disease in need of the lycogen extract which comprises administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of lycogen extract of the present invention is further described.

Lycogen extract, composition thereof and method for the treatment using the same

A method for screening of a to-be-analyzed candidate as a skin-whitening agent, includes the steps of: (a) setting a first feature parameter corresponding to a first group of zebrafish that are bred under a predetermined set of breeding conditions; (b) administering the to-be-analyzed candidate to a second group of zebrafish that are bred under the predetermined set of breeding conditions; (c) capturing images of the zebrafish in the second group; (d) determining, from the images captured in step (c), a second feature parameter corresponding to the second group of zebrafish; and (e) concluding that the to-be-analyzed candidate is suitable as a skin-whitening agent if a difference between the first and second feature parameters has statistical significance. A system for implementing the method is also disclosed.
