physiological function | in enzyme-deficient mice, carotenoid homeostasis is abrogated, and carotenoids accumulate in several tissues. In hepatic mitochondria, accumulated carotenoids induce key markers of mitochondrial dysfunction, such as manganese superoxide dismutase, 9fold, and reduce rates of ADP-dependent respiration by 30%. This impairment is associated with an 8- to 9fold induction of phosphor-MAP kinase and phosphor-AKT, markers of cell signaling pathways related to oxidative stress and disease | Mus musculus |
