Production and utilization of phytoene, phytofluene, and lycopene tracers for bioavailability and biodistribution studies
… carotenoids lycopene (LYC), phytoene (PE), and phytofluene (PF). Much emphasis has been placed on the bioactivity of LYC, but emerging research suggests that the colorless carotenoids, PE and PF, are bioactive and significantly accumulate in human and animal model tissues. To elucidate the …

Tomato Phytochemicals and Prostate Cancer Risk
As phytoene and phytofluene are not commercially available, plant cell culture methodologies utilizing the herbicide norflurazon and 14C-sucrose were developed to biosynthesize and radiolabel these carotenoids in tomato cell suspension cultures. DU 145 prostate tumor cells absorbed 14C-15- cis …

Carotenoid metabolism in mice and prostate cancer risk
… preferentially accumulated in CMO-I KO mice. Phytofluene and phytoene accumulation was not altered by genotype. Together these data suggest that lycopene is eccentrically metabolized by CMO-II and β-carotene is centrally metabolized to retinal by CMO-I. Phytoene and phytofluene may not be …

Enrichment of tomatoes and broccoli with specific bioactives for the reduction of prostate carcinogenesis
… in altered hepatic accumulation of lycopene, phytofluene, and phytoene. These results demonstrate that the bioactive content of vegetables affects both tissue content of bioactives and activity of detoxification enzymes. Enhancing bioactive content of tomatoes and broccoli may enhance efficacy …

Field, greenhouse, and laboratory studies on the efficacy and action of the herbicides SC-0051 and SC-0774
… by blocking the desaturation of phytoene to phytofluene. The uptake and translocation of ¹⁴C-SC-0051 into tolerant corn and susceptible soybean seedlings was examined under growth chamber conditions to investigate the basis for the selectivity of this herbicide. Herbicide uptake was similar …

Reducing the risk of prostate cancer with tomato and soy bioactives
… carotenoids, lycopene, β-carotene, phytoene, and phytofluene, receive much of the attention regarding PCa incidence. As tomato carotenoids are lipophilic, strategies to enhance absorption and tissue distribution have been of interest. Evidence suggests that co-consumption of tomato carotenoids …

Dietary interventions for reduction of prostate carcinogenesis in rodent models
… TP+SG had significantly lower serum phytoene, phytofluene, and lycopene compared to rats consuming TP alone (p<0.05). In the 25-week trial, lycopene bioaccumulation was significantly lower in the testes, seminal vesicles and ventral prostate of rats that consumed TP+SG compared to TP alone …
