Non usual experimental animals in the carotenoid research
Irodalmi áttekintés
Keywords:
carotenoids, retinoids, animal experimentsAbstract
Because of there are characteristic differences between animals and human in the carotenoid metabolism, the choose for the suitable model animal is very difficult. The absorption and tissue distribution is very similar to humans in Mongolian gerbils and ferrets instead of common laboratory rodents (mice, rats, rabbits). Japanese quail is a good model for the investigation of retinal carotenoid metabolism (macula degeneration, AMD). The immunological interaction and the cancer research are carried out in laboratory rodents and ferrets. Choosing for adequate model animals and experimental setup are hard tasks in the field of carotenoid study as well.
