Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Contributes to β-Carotene Uptake in the Maternal Liver.

Nutrients - 29 Nov 2016

Shete Varsha, Costabile Brianna K, Kim Youn-Kyung, Quadro Loredana

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin A regulates many essential mammalian biological processes, including embryonic development. β-carotene is the main source of vitamin A in the human diet. Once ingested, it is packaged into lipoproteins, predominantly low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and transported to different sites within the body, including the liver and developing tissues, where it can either be stored or metabolized to retinoids...
