A FAST HPLC METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF BETACAROTENE AND LYCOPENE FROM DAUCUS CARO
Beta-carotene and lycopene are important carotenoids present in carrots (Daucus carota). In this study, a fast and efficient HPLC method was developed for the determination of beta-carotene and lycopene from Daucus carota.

Compartmental analysis of the dynamics of beta-carotene metabolism in an adult volunteer.
Metabolism of a 73 mumol oral dose of beta-carotene-d8 in olive oil was determined from plasma beta-carotene-d8 and retinol-d4 concentration-time curves in an adult male. beta-Carotene-d8 and retinol-d4 concentrations in serial plasma were measured using

Knockout of the Bcmo1 gene results in an inflammatory response in female lung, which is suppressed by dietary beta-carotene [PDF]
Beta-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase 1 knockout (Bcmo1 (-/-)) mice accumulate beta-carotene (BC) similarly to humans, whereas wild-type (Bcmo1 (+/+)) mice efficiently cleave BC.

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