Carotenoids

Abstract

Summary: In human, physiological, biochemical and pharmacological functions of carotenoids are different from plants and microorganisms. Especially in the last twenty years, enriched carotenoid diets have become important such as situations in the inhibition of prostate enlargement and cataract formation, prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular disorders and some neurological diseases like Alzheimer and Parkinson. The purpose of this review is not to examine other roles of carotenoids, is draw attention to effects of physiological and pharmacological in human body, refresh exist knowledge and present new informations. Key words: Carotenoids

Abstract

Karotenoidlerin insanlardaki fizyolojik, biyokimyasal ve farmakolojik işlevi bitki ve mikroorganizmalardakinden farklıdır. Özellikle geçen yirmi yılda karotenoidlerce zengin beslenmenin prostat büyümesi, katarakt oluşumunun engellenmesi ve kalp-damar hastalıklarının önlenmesi ve/veya sağaltımı ile Alzheimer ve Parkinson gibi nörolojik bozukluklardaki önemi giderek artmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı, karotenoidlerin diğer rollerini irdelemekten ziyade insanlardaki fizyolojik ve farmakolojik etkilerine dikkat çekmek, mevcut bilgileri yenilemek ve yeni bilgiler sunmaktır. Anahtar kelimeler: Karotenoidler
