Characterization of the interindividual variability of lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations in the adipose tissue of healthy male adults and identification of combinations of genetic variants associated with it.

Abstract excerpt

Lutein (L) and zeaxanthin (Z) are involved in visual function and could prevent age-related macular degeneration and chronic diseases and improve cognitive performances. Adipose tissue is the main storage site for these xanthophylls (Xanth). The factors affecting their concentrations in this tissue remain poorly understood but in animal models, genetic variations in apolipoprotein E and β-carotene oxygenase 2...
