Presentation
Overall, beta-carotene nanoparticles presented significant bioactivity in aqueous medium surpassing their high hydrophobicity constraint. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Vietnamese
Vietnamese gac and crude palm oil have the highest content of β-carotene of any known plant sources, 10 times higher than carrots, for example. [en.wikipedia.org]
The Vietnamese fruit known as the gac, and crude palm oil, have the highest content of beta-carotene per ounce. [drweil.com]
Skin
- Yellow Discoloration of the Skin
Carotenodermia : High doses of β-carotene supplements (≥30 mg/day) and the consumption of large amounts of carotene-rich food have resulted in a yellow discoloration of the skin (xanthoderma) known as carotenodermia. [lpi.oregonstate.edu]
Neurologic
- Meningism
Microscopic examination of the liver of the other patient, who had Rothmund-Rhomson syndrome and died of acute bacterial meningitis, revealed no abnormalities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Excitement
These polypeptides bind to chlorophyll a and beta-carotene and pass the excitation energy on to the reaction centre. Extrait de Wikipedia Cet exemple provient de Wikipedia et peut être réutilisé sous la licence CC BY-SA. [dictionary.cambridge.org]

- Dyslipidemia
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of retinol, beta-carotene, and alpha-tocopherol serum concentrations in adolescents with dyslipidemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
We, therefore, wonder whether dietary supplementation of carotenoids and vitamin A should be considered in research protocols regarding prevention and/or treatment of (pre)malignant conditions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment of Skin Conditions: Beta carotene is effective in the treatment of skin conditions like dry skin, eczema and psoriasis. [stylecraze.com]
Prognosis
Because of limited vision and poor prognosis, she was treated with an experimental rescue therapy of high-dose 9-cis beta-carotene Dunaliella bardawil powder for 3 months, starting 10 days postingestion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lung cancer was deemed a particularly appropriate target for this trial because of its high incidence, its generally poor prognosis, and the existence of a well-defined high-risk population (i.e., smokers) 3. [nejm.org]
Etiology
Despite decades of concerted epidemiological research, relatively little is known about the etiology of prostate cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Dissertations and Theses were systematically searched to identify original epidemiological studies with a comparison group that investigated vitamin or mineral supplementation as an etiological factor for thyroid cancer. [dx.doi.org]
The pathogenesis of AMD is only partly understood, and its etiology remains obscure. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Epidemiology
Abstract A number of epidemiological studies have reported associations of beta-carotene plasma levels or intake with decreased lung cancer risk. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thus, this panel recommended that one of the NEI's program development priorities should be to "initiate epidemiologic studies of macular diseases to identify possible causative, protective, or aggravating factors." [clinicaltrials.gov]
Heart health Epidemiological studies show that beta-carotene may improve our heart health by decreasing blood pressure. Beta-carotene may also help to prevent arteriosclerosis by inhibiting the oxidation of lipids. [phytochemicals.info]
Pathophysiology
Our data reveal several metabolomic leads that may have pathophysiological relevance to prostate carcinogenesis and should be examined through additional research. © 2015 The Authors. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of UICC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
