Descrição

Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid found in plants, especially in green leafy vegetables. It is often used as an ingredient in supplements and as a food coloring agent. Lutein has been shown to protect the eye from light-induced oxidative damage and may help prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. This molecule also has antioxidant properties that can reduce the production of reactive oxygen species, which are generated when light exposure damages cells. Lutein's function as a light-harvesting pigment may be due to its ability to absorb blue wavelengths from sunlight. The wild-type strain of bacteria Escherichia coli can produce lutein from linoleic acid by an epoxidase reaction mechanism involving two molecules of chlorophyll A.
