Functional characterization of various algal carotenoid ketolases reveals that ketolating zeaxanthin efficiently is essential for high production of astaxanthin in transgenic Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2011 Extending the carotenoid pathway to astaxanthin in plants is of scientific and industrial interest. However, expression of a microbial beta-carotene ketolase (BKT) that catalyses the formation of ketocarotenoids in transgenic plants typically results in ...

Dietary Carotenoids and Cognitive Decline: A Longitudinal Study Among Chinese Middle-Aged and Older Adults. [PDF]
Health Care SciHigher intake of dietary carotenoids was associated with slower cognitive decline. The strongest protective association was observed for moderate carotenoid intake. Total carotenoid intake exhibited a non‐linear association with cognitive decline. ABSTRACT Background This study examined the association between dietary intakes of total and specific ...
