Genotype effects impact lipids and organ weights in female mice lacking carotenoid cleavage enzymes
Carotenoids are very abundant in nature and their consumption has numerous positive health outcomes. There are two known enzymes that are responsible for cleaving carotenoids in to their metabolites. β-carotene is cleaved by carotenoid-15,15'-oxygenase (CMO-I), to eventually form …

Dietary tomato carotenoids and β-carotene-15,15'- dioxygenase (Bco1) genotype alter androgen metabolism, lipid metabolism, and prostate cancer progression in mice
β-carotene-15,15'-dioxygenase (BCO1) cleaves dietary carotenoids at the central 15,15' double bond, most notably acting on β-carotene to yield retinal. Much work has gone into the description of enzymatic carotenoid cleavage activities of the enzyme, but although pleiotropic effects of Bco1 loss on …
