Beta-carotene Reduces Body Adiposity of Mice Via BCMO1 [PDF]

, 2011
Evidence from cell culture studies indicates that ß-carotene-(BC)-derived apocarotenoid signaling molecules can modulate the activities of nuclear receptors that regulate many aspects of adipocyte physiology.

Knockout of the Bcmo1 gene results in an inflammatory response in female lung, which is suppressed by dietary beta-carotene [PDF]

, 2010
Beta-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase 1 knockout (Bcmo1 (-/-)) mice accumulate beta-carotene (BC) similarly to humans, whereas wild-type (Bcmo1 (+/+)) mice efficiently cleave BC.

ASTER-B regulates mitochondrial carotenoid transport and homeostasis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2023
The scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1) facilitates uptake of cholesterol and carotenoids into the plasma membrane (PM) of mammalian cells. Downstream of SR-B1, ASTER-B protein mediates the nonvesicular transport of cholesterol to mitochondria for ...

Downregulation of Fzd6 and Cthrc1 and upregulation of olfactory receptors and protocadherins by dietary beta-carotene in lungs of Bcmo1-/- mice. [PDF]

, 2010
An ongoing controversy exists on beneficial versus harmful effects of high beta-carotene (BC) intake, especially for the lung. To elucidate potential mechanisms, we studied effects of BC on lung gene expression.

Beta-carotene affects gene-expression in lungs of male and female Bcmo1-/-mice in opposite directions [PDF]

, 2010
Molecular mechanisms triggered by high dietary beta-carotene (BC) intake in lung are largely unknown. We performed microarray gene expression analysis on lung tissue of BC supplemented beta-carotene 15,150-monooxygenase 1 knockout (Bcmo1-/-) mice, which ...

Retention and bioaccessibility of B‐carotene (BC) in biofortified cassava

The FASEB Journal, 2011
Cassava root represents a primary caloric source for many rural African communities despite its very low content of βC. Roots from wild type (WT, 0.9 μg βC/g DW) and transgenic lines with increased βC (22, 29 and 30 μg βC/g DW) were cooked according to traditional styles to assess retention.

Characterization of spray-dried Gac aril extract and estimated shelf life of β-carotene and lycopene [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Background Fresh Gac (Momordica cochinchinensis) fruit is rich in carotenoids, mainly β-carotene and lycopene, but these compounds are sensitive to degradation.
