Beta-carotene reduces body adiposity of mice via BCMO1.

Beta-carotene reduces body adiposity of mice via BCMO1.

Evidence from cell culture studies indicates that β-carotene-(BC)-derived apocarotenoid signaling molecules can modulate the activities of nuclear receptors that regulate many aspects of adipocyte physiology. Two BC metabolizing enzymes, the BC-15,15'-oxygenase (Bcmo1) and the BC-9',10...
