A carotenoid with diverse biological activities; reduces hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial DNA damage and production of ROS and promotes mitochondrial biogenesis in ARPE-19 cells at 10 µM; increases NO production and decreases serum levels of endothelin-1 in a rat model of hyperhomocysteinemia at 20 mg/kg; dietary administration decreases monocyte migration and lesion size in an ApoE-/- and Ldlr-/- mouse models of atherosclerosis; reduces infarct size and cardiac MDA, LDH, and troponin T levels, and increases cardiac CAT, SOD, HO-1, and Nrf2 in a rat model of isoproterenol-induced heart failure; high dietary intake is positively correlated with reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts in humans
