Here, recognised authorities present their recent findings and perspectives on future research in basic and clinical carotenoid research. Coverage includes carotenoid chemistry, metabolism of catorenoids in human health, and actions of carotenoids in biological systems.

Here, internationally recognised authorities present their recent findings and perspectives on future research in basic and clinical carotenoid research. Coverage includes carotenoid chemistry, metabolism of carotenoids in human health, and actions of carotenoids in biological systems. Of particular interest are recent findings which suggest a role for carotenoids in coronary heart disease, cancer, and immune functions.
