Plasma concentrations of carotenoids and vitamin C are better correlated with dietary intake in normal weight than overweight and obese elderly subjects. [PDF]

, 2007
Carotenoid and vitamin C intakes, assessed by FFQ, have been positively associated with plasma concentrations in different populations. However, the influence of BMI on these associations has not been explored in detail.

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of beta‐carotene as a feed additive for all animal species and categories

EFSA Journal, 2012
The use of beta‐carotene is safe for the target animals. Setting a maximum content in feed legislation is not considered necessary. However, this conclusion assumes that triphenylphosphine oxide does not exceed 100 mg/kg additive.

Intestinal absorption and metabolism of 9-cis-beta-carotene in vivo: biosynthesis of 9-cis-retinoic acid.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
This study was done to examine the intestinal absorption and cleavage of 9-cis-beta-carotene in vivo. A micellar solution, containing either no addition or 10 mumol of 9-cis- or all-trans-beta-carotene, was perfused for 2 h through the upper portion of ...

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

, 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.
