Genetic deletion of Bco2 and Isx establishes a golden mouse model for carotenoid research
Molecular Metabolism, 2023 Objective: Low plasma levels of carotenoids are associated with mortality and chronic disease states. Genetic studies in animals revealed that the tissue accumulation of these dietary pigments is associated with the genes encoding β-carotene oxygenase 2 (
