Chlorella vulgaris functional alcoholic beverage: Effect on propagation of cortical spreading depression and functional properties.

Recent advances in microalgae biotechnology have proven that these microorganisms contain a number of bioactive molecules, that can be used as food additives that help prevent disease. The green microalga Chlorella vulgaris presents several biomolecules, such as lutein and astaxanthin, with antioxid...
