• Beschreibung: 13-cis-b-Carotene is a carotenoid that has been classified as a provitamin. It is not active in humans but it can be converted to b-carotene, an active form of vitamin A. 13-Cis-b-Carotene is found in plant foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes and can be used for the prevention of atherosclerosis and heart disease. 13-Cis-b-Carotene has been shown to have antiatherogenic effects by inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and may also inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. The conversion of 13-cis-b-carotene to b-carotene occurs through a number of reactions, including beta oxidation, desaturation, and hydrolysis by esterases or glucuronidases.
