2023 review

Carotenoids in Health as Studied by Omics-Related Endpoints

[Review of ]. ADVANCES IN NUTRITION, 14(6), 1538–1578.

By: T. Bohn *, E. Balbuena n, H. Ulus n, M. Iddir *, G. Wang n, N. Crook n , A. Eroglu n 

author keywords: health; inflammation; beta-carotene; lycopene; lutein; oxidative stress; metabolites; LC-MS-MS; exposome; transcription factors; cellular compartments; body tissues
TL;DR: This review highlights the use of omics technologies to assess health-related effects of carotenoids in mammalian organisms and models and (multi)omics–related techniques, especially transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics, measured in a variety of biospecimens.

2022 journal article

Carotenoids in orange carrots mitigate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease progression

FRONTIERS IN NUTRITION, 9.

By: E. Balbuena n, J. Cheng n & A. Eroglu n 

author keywords: phytochemicals; nutrition; beta-oxidation; nuclear receptors; lipid metabolism
TL;DR: Carotenoids in the orange carrots reduced HFD-induced weight gain, better than white carrots, and may display more potent efficacy in mitigating NAFLD than those with low carotenoid levels. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 article

Nutrient modulation of DNA repair in lung cancer

Eroglu, A., & Balbuena, E. (2020, April). FASEB JOURNAL, Vol. 34.

By: A. Eroglu n  & E. Balbuena n

TL;DR: While β‐ carotene increased OGG1 expression at lower doses, it led to a dramatic decrease at higher concentrations suggesting that at higher doses β‐carotene exerted a pro‐oxidant effect, the objective is to illustrate the molecular mechanisms behind the chemoprotective effects of major dietary carotenoids.
