Plasma Levels of Retinoids and Carotenoids in Recipients of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Given Extracorporeal Photopheresis to Prevent Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease—Analyses From a Randomized Trial

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Whether retinoids and carotenoids impact on graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is unknown. Methods We conducted a 1:1 randomized controlled trial with extracorporeal photopheresis for GVHD‐prophylaxis as the intervention.

Stable isotope dilution techniques for assessing vitamin A status and bioefficacy of provitamin A carotenoids in humans [PDF]

Public Health Nutrition, 2005
AbstractVitamin A deficiency is a major global public health problem. Among the variety of techniques that are available for assessing human vitamin A status, evaluating the provitamin A nutritional values of foodstuffs and estimating human vitamin A requirements, isotope dilution provides the most accurate estimates.

Adaptability and Stability Analyses of Root Yield and Micronutrient Concentrations in Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) Genotypes

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT High yielding and micronutrient dense sweetpotato cultivars could contribute to alleviating micronutrient deficiency, which is a prevalent problem in developing countries. Developing these improved cultivars involves selection across diverse environments, which requires an understanding of genotype × environment interaction (GEI).

Vitamin A Value of Provitamin A‐Rich Fruits and Vegetables in Mongolian Gerbils

The FASEB Journal, 2009
Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of provitamin A (pro‐VA) carotenoids. We evaluated the vitamin A (VA) bioefficacy of a whole food supplement (WFS) and its constituent green vegetables (Study 1, n=77) and a variety of fruits with varying ratios of pro‐VA carotenoids (Study 2, n=77 ...

Mechanisms of provitamin A (carotenoid) and vitamin A (retinol) transport into and out of intestinal Caco-2 cells [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanisms of intestinal retinol (ROL) and carotenoid transport. When differentiated Caco-2 cells were incubated with ROL for varying times, cellular ROL plateaued within 2 h, whereas retinyl ester (RE) formation increased continuously.
