Effect of Dietary Structure on Bioavailability and Antioxidant Activity of Citrus Carotenoids [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 In order to explore the effect of different dietary structures (normal diet, high-protein diet, high-fat diet, high-sugar diet) on the bioavailability and antioxidant activity of citrus carotenoids, the changes in the carotenoid content, ferric reducing ...

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.

Fossil carotenoids and paleolimnology of meromictic Mahoney Lake, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]
, 1993 Vertical distribution of fossil carotenoids in a sediment core from meromictic Mahoney Lake was studied. Besides okenone and demethylated okenone, lutein and zeaxanthin and-carotene isomers were identified.

Ruthenium porphyrin-ß-cyclodextrin complexes as supramolecular enzyme models for regioselective cleavage of carotenoids [PDF]
, 2006 All naturally occurring vitamin A derives from enzymatic oxidative cleavage of β,β-carotene or other carotenoids with pro-vitamin A activity. Two metabolic pathways of β,β-carotene to retinal (vitamin A aldehyde) have been proposed: the central cleavage ...
