Background The UK Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) rewards practices for measuring
symptom severity in patients with depression, but the endorsed scales have not been …

The combination of carotenoids and doxorubicin (DOX) selectively alters oxidative stress-mediated
apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Primarily, cytotoxic efficiency of carotenoids (β-…

It is widely believed that severity of depressive disorder should guide treatment selection
and many guidelines emphasise this factor. The Quick Inventory of Depressive …

Lycopene (LYC) has been correlated with the reduction of certain cancers and chronic diseases.
However, the existence and biofunctionality of degraded, oxidized, and biotransformed …

Biopolymers-based nanoparticles delivery emerged alternatively to improve nutraceuticals
and drug bioavailability. The intestinal physiology suggested a prerequisite of lipid moiety for …

Carotenoids are natural pigments, and recognized as vital micronutrients associated with
human health. Epidemiological studies have been shown that consumption of carotenoid-rich …

This study aimed to evaluate the role of spices/spice active principles on physical,
biochemical, and molecular targets of bioaccessibility/bioavailability. Carotenoids‐rich micellar …

This study evaluated the potency of zein-alginate-phosphatidylcholine nanoparticles (NPs)
on bioaccessibility/intestinal uptake of encapsulated lycopene (LY) and lutein (LT) versus …

This chapter highlights the techniques, methods, and various approaches of biofortification
of provitamin and non‐provitamin A carotenoids in agricultural and horticultural crops. It …

The study evaluated the influence of active spice ingredients on the bioaccessibility and
bioavailability of different carotenoids at the enterocyte level. Briefly, carotenoids solubilized …
