Lutein and Zeaxanthin Monograph
Introduction Lutein and zeaxanthin belong to the xanthophyll family of carotenoids and are the two major components of the macular pigment of the retina. The macula lutea or “yellow spot” in the retina is responsible for central vision and visual acuity. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in both the macula and lens of the human eye, and have dual functions in both tissues – t...
متن کاملDietary Sources of Lutein and Zeaxanthin Carotenoids and Their Role in Eye Health
The eye is a major sensory organ that requires special care for a healthy and productive lifestyle. Numerous studies have identified lutein and zeaxanthin to be essential components for eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoid pigments that impart yellow or orange color to various common foods such as cantaloupe, pasta, corn, carrots, orange/yellow peppers, fish, salmon and eggs. Their ...
متن کاملThe Macular Carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin Are Related to Increased Bone Density in Young Healthy Adults
Lutein (L) and zeaxanthin (Z) status can be quantified by measuring their concentrations both in serum and, non-invasively, in retinal tissue. This has resulted in a unique ability to assess their role in a number of tissues ranging from cardiovascular to central nervous system tissue. Recent reports using animal models have suggested yet another role, a developmental increase in bone mass. To ...
متن کاملInfluence of the dietary carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin on visual performance: application to baseball.
Macular pigment (MP) is composed of the yellow, blue-absorbing carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Although distributed throughout the visual system, MP is heavily concentrated in the central retinal area (eg, screening the foveal cones). Because light must pass through MP before reaching the receptors, it filters significant amounts of short-wave energy. Individual variation in peak absorbance ...
متن کاملIn vitro Bioaccessibility of Lutein and Zeaxanthin of Yellow Fleshed Boiled Potatoes
Yellow fleshed potatoes contain significant amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin but the bioaccessibility of potato carotenoids has not yet been investigated. The purpose of this study was to estimate the in vitro bioaccessibility of carotenoids provided by potato. Lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations of boiled, freeze dried and milled samples of seven yellow fleshed potato accessions were determin...
