Objective(s): Paraplegia is deterioration in motor or sensory function of the lower limbs that can occur after modification of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. The purpose of this survey was to determine the protective action of lutein on spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) damage. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five male rats were distributed into five groups: intact, sham, dimethyl sulfo...
Background: Lutein, a carotenoid compound, has previously been studied for its antioxidant and medicinal properties as well as the moderate protection it confers against gamma radiation. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of lutein against radiation-induced hematological and biochemical changes in mice.Methods: The optimized dose of the compound was orally administered for 15 days, and ...
Lutein and zeaxanthin are xanthophyll carotenoids present in highly pigmented vegetables and fruits. Lutein is selectively accumulated in the brain relative to other carotenoids. Recent evidence has linked lutein to cognition in older adults, but little is known about lutein in young children, despite structural brain development. We determined lutein intake using FFQ, one 24 h recall and three...
The biosynthetic pathway of lutein, the most abundant carotenoid in leaves, has been extensively studied, while its degradation pathway during senescence is poorly understood. We found that a novel carotenoid derivative, lutein 3-acetate, accumulates in senescent leaves of rice (Oryza sativa L.). The change in contents of lutein and lutein 3-acetate suggests that lutein is converted to lutein 3...
Marigold (Tagetes erecta) flowers are a rich source of organic solvents. In this study, lutein was extracted from marigold flowers with enzyme extraction without using organic solvents. Extraction produced oil that contained 0.36 mg/ml lutein (present as lutein esters but calculated as free lutein), and the yield was comparable to solvent extraction. The oil containing lutein was used to produc...
BACKGROUND Adequate intake of lutein is postulated to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, but kinetic information for developing a dosing regimen is sparse. OBJECTIVE The objective was to characterize lutein plasma kinetics in a multiple dosing design and to assess the effects of lutein intake on concentrations of other plasma carotenoids. DESIGN After a run-in period of 7 ...
Lutein is the one of the main xanthopyll pigments found in the membranes of the macula lutea of the primate vision apparatus. The two functions of lutein have been studied experimentally: protection against oxidative damage of the lipid matrix [1] and screening against excess radiation [2]. This latter function depends on the molecular organisation, i.e. orientation and aggregation of lutein. T...
The relationship between lutein and zeaxanthin and visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan is compelling. There is a variety of evidence to support a role for lutein and zeaxanthin in vision. Lutein's role in cognition has only recently been considered. Lutein and its isomer, zeaxanthin, are taken up selectively into eye tissue. Lutein is the predominant carotenoid in human brain ti...
Effect of dietary lutein supplementation on turkey production parameters, cytokine production, and oxidative status during an acute phase response following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection was studied. One-day-old chicks were fed a basal diet supplemented with 3 levels (0, 25, or 50 mg/kg of feed) of lutein. At 50 d of dietary lutein supplementation, turkeys were injected or not injected wit...
Background: Lutein is a hydroxy-carotenoid constituting the macular pigment of the human retina. Increasing lutein intake from foods could increase the density of this pigment and decrease the risk of developing macular degeneration. Yellow carrots are a novel food source that could increase lutein consumption. Objective: We evaluated and compared lutein uptake and clearance in humans from gene...
