Two carotenoid oxygenases contribute to mammalian provitamin A metabolism.
J. Biol. Chem. 288(47) , 34081-96, (2013) Mammalian genomes encode two provitamin A-converting enzymes as follows: the β-carotene-15,15'-oxygenase (BCO1) and the β-carotene-9',10'-oxygenase (BCO2). Symmetric cleavage by BCO1 yields retinoids (β-15'-apocarotenoids, C20), whereas eccentric cleavage by ... |

The effects of daily consumption of β-cryptoxanthin-rich tangerines and β-carotene-rich sweet potatoes on vitamin A and carotenoid concentrations in plasma and breast milk of Bangladeshi women with low vitamin A status in a randomized controlled trial.
Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 98(5) , 1200-8, (2013) The potential of β-cryptoxanthin (CX)-rich foods to form vitamin A (VA) in humans in not well understood.We measured the effects of consuming CX- and β-carotene (BC)-rich foods on plasma and breast milk VA and carotenoids in lactating women with low VA status... |

Degradation of carotenoids in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) during drying process.
Plant Foods Hum. Nutr. 68(3) , 241-6, (2013) Carotenoids are natural compounds whose nutritional importance comes from the provitamin A activity of some of them and their protection against several serious human disorders. The degradation of carotenoids was investigated during apricot drying by microwav... |

Specific carotenoid intake is inversely associated with the risk of breast cancer among Chinese women.
Br. J. Nutr. 111(9) , 1686-95, (2014) The protective effect of dietary carotenoid intake on the risk of breast cancer is inconclusive. Moreover, data on dietary carotenoids in relation to breast cancer in non-Western populations are scarce. The aim of the present study was to examine the associat... |

Nutritional impacts of a fruit and vegetable subsidy programme for disadvantaged Australian Aboriginal children.
Br. J. Nutr. 110(12) , 2309-17, (2013) Healthy food subsidy programmes have not been widely implemented in high-income countries apart from the USA and the UK. There is, however, interest being expressed in the potential of healthy food subsidies to complement nutrition promotion initiatives and r... |

Cancer chemoprevention by citrus pulp and juices containing high amounts of β-cryptoxanthin and hesperidin.
J. Biomed. Biotechnol. 2012 , 516981, (2012) β-Cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid, and hesperidin, a flavonoid, possess inhibitory effects on carcinogenesis in several tissues. We recently have prepared a pulp (CHRP) and citrus juices (MJ2 and MJ5) from a satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Mar.) juice (MJ). They ... |

Role of carotenoid β-cryptoxanthin in bone homeostasis.
J. Biomed. Sci. 19 , 36, (2012) Bone homeostasis is maintained through a balance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption. Aging induces bone loss due to decreased osteoblastic bone formation and increased osteoclastic bone resorption. Osteoporosis with its accom... |
