In the present study, the effect of amount and type of vegetable oils on carotenoid micellarization from carrot, spinach, drumstick leaves and papaya using in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model have been assessed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The total carotenoid concentration has not had a significant difference among the identified strains, while R. mucilaginosa -135 presented the highest value (61.4 µg/g), R. mucilaginosa -137 presented the lowest value (54.7 µg/g). [scielo.br]

• Chronic Infection

  BACKGROUND: Approximately 2.7 million Americans are chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV patients with cirrhosis form the largest group of persons at high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Collapse

  By applying the interval collapsing method (ICM) to maximize the use of the estimated information, we reevaluated the results of the previous analysis in order to reinterpret the inferences made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Osteopenia

  Daily β-cryptoxanthin intake was significantly associated with a lower risk of osteopenia at the total hip (OR per 1 mg/day increase: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.59-0.97), and lumbar spine (OR per 1 mg/day increase: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.70-0.89) in postmenopausal women [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• 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]

• Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  HCV patients with cirrhosis form the largest group of persons at high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Increased oxidative stress is regarded as a major mechanism of HCV-related liver disease progression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Liver Biopsy

  METHODS: Patients undergoing liver biopsy (n = 69) provided fasting blood, fresh tissue, urine and completed a diet history questionnaire. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

But after you have a growing colony of cancerous cells in your system, betacarotene supplements may prevent your own system from fighting the cancer, making carotenoid supplementation significantly less safe for what is called secondary prevention - stopping [health.howstuffworks.com]

Fat-soluble carotenoids, which hitch a ride through the body on lipoproteins, may also help prevent cardiovascular disease by protecting LDL molecules from oxidation. [heartmdinstitute.com]
