Lutein accumulates in subcellular membranes of brain regions in adult rhesus macaques: Relationship to DHA oxidation products. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Lutein, a carotenoid with anti-oxidant functions, preferentially accumulates in primate brain and is positively related to cognition in humans. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), is also beneficial for cognition ...

Luteinizing Hormone Receptors: Specific Binding of Human Luteinizing Hormone to Homogenates of Luteinized Rat Ovaries [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1972 Binding of human [ 125 I]luteinizing hormone to homogenates of luteinized rat ovaries is dependent upon time, temperature, and pH and is saturable. Injection of human chorionic gonadotropin in vivo or addition of unlabeled human chorionic gonadotropin or human or ovine luteinizing hormone

Lutein attenuates angiotensin II- induced cardiac remodeling by inhibiting AP-1/IL-11 signaling
Redox Biology, 2021 Rationale: Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the development of cardiac remodeling and heart failure. Lutein, the predominant nonvitamin A carotenoid, has been shown to have profound effects on oxidative stress.

Lutein delays photoreceptor degeneration in a mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa
Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Retinitis pigmentosa is a retinal disease characterized by photoreceptor degeneration. There is currently no effective treatment for retinitis pigmentosa. Although a mixture of lutein and other antioxidant agents has shown promising effects in protecting
