These pigments are abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as in certain animal products such as eggs and salmon, being responsible for their colorful appearance. The bioactive properties of certain carotenoids in human health are clear, as some of these compounds have antioxidant properties and serve as the only precursors of vitamin A in nature. The aim of this Special Issue entitled “Carotenoids and Human Health” is to provide the scientific community with an updated perspective of this exciting and growing research area. We compiled 19 papers from some of the most prominent scientists in the carotenoid field, including seven literature reviews and 12 original publication, covering topics such as cancer, obesity, vision, cognitive function, and skin health.membrane transportersRARbrowningastaxanthinVitamin Acase-control study?-carotenetranscriptomic analysisnew-borncarotenescancer-related cognitive impairmentandrogenbeta-caroteneeicosapentanoic acidmango by-productsmangiferincell culturechronic diseaseAkkermansiaanimalintestinecarotenoidsalcoholic fatty liver diseasePhaeodactylum tricornutumcarotenoidtomatocolourless carotenoidspreterm mothersinflammation?-Cryptoxanthinadipocytesvitamin Agastric cancerfood ingredientsbraingut microbiotazeaxanthinnutricosmeticsbrown adipose tissuebioactive compoundsbreastfeedingagingoxidative stressretinoidsphytoflueneglaucomaH. pyloriretinoidtomato extractretinol?-cryptoxanthinmicroalgaefucoxanthinobesitymacular pigmentcarotenephotoprotectionadipose tissueluteinmetabolic syndromeCaenorhabditis elegansfunctional foodsbeta-cryptoxanthinretinoic acidnutritionlycopenebioavailabilitynutraceuticalsadipocyte?-tocopherolphytoenememorycosmeceuticalsantioxidantsmature milkRXRfat reductionxanthophyllscolostrumsmokingoverweightprovitamin Apublic healthKorea?-carotene oxygenase 1cognitionfull-term mothershippocampusalpha-caroteneprostate cancerhypertensionAmengual Jaumeauth1301452BOOK9910367740103321Carotenoids and Human Health3025865UNINA
