A Mechanistic Review of β-Carotene, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin in Eye Health and Disease
Antioxidants, 2020 Carotenoids are natural lipid-soluble antioxidants abundantly found as colorful pigments in fruits and vegetables. At least 600 carotenoids occur naturally, although about 20 of them, including β-carotene, α-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, meso ...

Desiccation tolerance mechanisms in the green lineage and beyond
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Ancient origin and recurrent evolution of desiccation tolerance in the green lineage. Summary Water is essential for life on Earth, yet some plants can survive the near‐complete loss of cellular water, a trait known as desiccation tolerance. Although rare in vegetative tissues of vascular plants, desiccation tolerance is scattered across the plant ...

Sustainable production of β-Xanthophylls in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2018 Xanthophylls are a group of C40 pigments that belong to the carotenoids family. β-Xanthophylls, such as zeaxanthin, violaxanthin and neoxanthin are derived from β-carotene metabolism, and play a central role in the protection of photo-oxidative damage in

Xanthophylls are preferentially taken up compared with beta-carotene by retinal cells via a SRBI-dependent mechanism [PDF]
, 2008 The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which carotenoids [xanthophylls vs. beta-carotene (beta-C)] are taken up by retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. The human RPE cell line, ARPE-19, was used.
