When MP density increased with dietary modification, it remained elevated for at least several months after resuming an unmodified diet and appears to be feasible for many persons.

Although increasing the intake of lutein or zeaxanthin might prove to be protective against the development of age-related macular degeneration, a causative relationship has yet to be experimentally demonstrated.

Diminished retinoid signaling, resulting from the suppression of RARbeta gene expression and overexpression of activator protein-1, could be a mechanism to enhance lung tumorigenesis after high-dose beta-carotene supplementation and exposure to tobacco smoke.

It is demonstrated that the recombinant ferret CMO2 catalyzes the excentric cleavage of both all-trans-β-carotene and the 5-cis- and 13- cis-isomers of lycopene at the 9′,10′-double bond but not all- trans-lycopene.

It becomes increasingly important to understand which compounds can function as antioxidants, where they are located in the body, and what their mechanism of action might be.

Most of the measurableCarotenoids of human plasma can be increased by moderate alterations in diet within a short time, although the magnitude of the plasma response may be related to the baseline carotenoid concentrations.
