Produktbeschreibung

Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential dietary compound with myriad metabolic and regulatory functions. More than 600 carotenoids have been identified in plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria, and around 50 carotenoids-includingcarotene-can be converted into vitamin. This volume reviews the medical use of carotenoids and vitamin A in cancer; diseases of the skin, eye, ear, and lung; and inflammatory bowel and metabolic diseases. It also discusses the analytics of carotenoids and the supply of carotenoids and vitamin A in developing countries. The book evaluates basic research, epidemiological studies, and clinical trials in the field.
