Skin Protection by Carotenoid Pigments
International Journal of Molecular SciencesSunlight, despite its benefits, can pose a threat to the skin, which is a natural protective barrier. Phototoxicity caused by overexposure, especially to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), results in burns, accelerates photoaging, and causes skin cancer formation. Natural substances of plant origin, i.e., polyphenols, flavonoids, and photosynthetic pigments,

Comparative transcriptomics reveals candidate carotenoid color genes in an East African cichlid fish
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Carotenoids contribute significantly to animal body coloration, including the spectacular color pattern diversity among fishes. Fish, as other animals, derive carotenoids from their diet.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

Daily Consumption of a Fruit and Vegetable Smoothie Alters Facial Skin Color. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Consumption of dietary carotenoids or carotenoid supplements can alter the color (yellowness) of human skin through increased carotenoid deposition in the skin. As fruit and vegetables are the main dietary sources of carotenoids, skin yellowness may be a

Degradation Mechanisms, Encapsulation‐Based Stabilization, and Analytical Detection of Vitamin A
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vitamin A is an important lipid‐soluble micronutrient essential for vision, immune function, and overall growth and development. However, vitamin A is unstable and susceptible to environmental factors because of its conjugated structure and inherent chemical reactivity.
