carotenoid

One carotenoid, lycopene, may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

We just picked one carotenoid out of many."

Beta carotene is the most prominent, but hardly the only, carotenoid in the American diet.

For example, the amount of carotenoid a certain sea anemone decreases as we go deeper into the ocean.

Another carotenoid, astaxanthin, can also be found deposited in flight and body feathers.

It is important, however, that carotenoid and tocopherol levels remained within the normal ranges.

Lycopene is the predominant circulating carotenoid in Americans and has a number of potential activities, including an antioxidant effect.

However, the concentration of carotenoid and myxoxanthophyll in each chlorophyll has increased.

Lycopene which is a carotenoid, is a potent antioxidant with a number of potential health benefits.

They also contain lycopene, a carotenoid found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables.

Beta-carotene is a carotenoid, one of a group of plant pigments known to have antioxidant and other effects.

It was the first plant carotenoid to be recognized as early as 1818 while the history of saffron cultivation reaches back more than 3,000 years.

Tomatoes and other red vegetables are packed with this carotenoid, which can significantly lower the risk of prostate cancer and heart disease.

Lycopene is the most abundant carotenoid in human blood and tissues, with levels in the body well above those of beta carotene.

Similarly, a red carotenoid, lycopene in preliminary research for its effects on prostate cancer, is prevalent in tomatoes.

A carotenoid and antioxidant, beta-carotene aids in night vision and maintaining good vision.

Another carotenoid, beta-cryptoxanthin, appears to protect against chronic joint inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis.

However, the study also indicated that these individuals exhibited abnormally low levels of lycopene, another carotenoid associated with chronic disease prevention.

For example, the blue carotenoprotein, linckiacyanin has about 100-200 carotenoid molecules per every complex.

The color of paprika is primarily due to the xanthophyll carotenoid zeaxanthin.

Increased fruit and vegetable consumption was monitored through dietary assessment and measures of serum carotenoid concentrations.

"We suspect but we don't know," she said, "that they have some kind of enzyme deficiency that prevents them from taking up the carotenoid."

Wild salmon become pink by eating sea creatures like krill, which contain a carotenoid called astaxanthin.

Two years ago, his research group found that excessive consumption of beta carotene interfered with another carotenoid, called lutein.

Kale contains lutein, a type of carotenoid (an organic pigment) responsible for the plant's color and nutrients.

Carotenoid content has antioxidant effects, and protects against vitamin A deficiency, resulting in e.g. night blindness.

In higher plants there are three carotenoid pigments that are active in the xanthophyll cycle: violaxanthin, antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin.
