Lutein is a dietary carotenoid preferentially accumulated in the eye and the brain in early life
and throughout the life span. Lutein accumulation in areas of high metabolism and oxidative …

Macular carotenoids, which consist of lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin, are dietary
antioxidants and macular pigments in the eyes, protecting the macula from light-induced …

Lutein may have important antioxidant actions in free‐radical‐mediated diseases, in
addition to its well‐known antioxidant and cytoprotective effects on macula and …

Background Lutein is a carotenoid that may play a role in eye health. Human milk typically
contains higher concentrations of lutein than infant formula. Preliminary data suggest there …

Lutein is a non-provitamin A dietary carotenoid found in dark green leafy vegetables, corn,
eggs, and avocados. Among the carotenoids, lutein and its isomer, zeaxanthin, are the only …

Lutein is one of the few xanthophyll carotenoids that is found in high concentration in the
macula of human retina. As de novo synthesis of lutein within the human body is impossible …

The objective of this study was to measure lutein and zeaxanthin plasma levels after oral
lutein administration in preterm infants. Lutein was given orally in a single dose of 0.5 mg/kg …

Lutein has been shown to have antioxidant functions in newborns and with zeaxantin
selectively taken up into the macula of the eye. We hypothesize that lutein administration …

Lutein is a carotenoid with reported anti-inflammatory properties. A large body of evidence
shows that lutein has several beneficial effects, especially on eye health. In particular, lutein …

It is now widely accepted that nutrition during critical periods in early development, both pre-
and postnatal, may have lifetime consequences in determining health or onset of major …
