Carotenoids and apocarotenoids in cellular signaling related to cancer: A review

Abstract excerpt

The basis for the vivid color of carotenoids and their antioxidant activity is the multiple conjugated double bonds, which are characteristic for these phytonutrients. Moreover, the cleavage of these oxidation-prone double bonds leads to the formation of apocarotenoids. A large number of carbonyl-containing oxidation products are expected to be produced as a result of carotenoid oxidation and these can be further...
