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 (

Zeaxanthin-Biofortified Popcorn for Eye Health
Proceedings, 2020 Zeaxanthin is one of only two dietary carotenoids accumulated in the human macula. A key role of zeaxanthin is to protect the eyes’ photoreceptors from damage induced by blue light.

Lutein, Zeaxanthin, andmeso-Zeaxanthin in the Clinical Management of Eye Disease [PDF]
Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015 Lutein, zeaxanthin, andmeso-zeaxanthin are xanthophyll carotenoids found within the retina and throughout the visual system. The retina is one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body. The highest concentration of xanthophylls is found within the retina, and this selective presence has generated many theories regarding their role in ...

Macular pigment response to a supplement containing meso-zeaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin [PDF]
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2007 Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease with multiple risk factors, many of which appear to involve oxidative stress. Macular pigment, with its antioxidant and light-screening properties, is thought to be protective against AMD. A result has been the appearance of dietary supplements containing the macular carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin.
