COVER: Here we represent the role of β-carotene oxygenase 1 (BCO1) in vitamin A production
and its consequences on hepatic lipid secretion (left). On the right, we compare the
appearance of atherosclerotic lesions of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-
deficient mice (Ldlr−/−, upper image) in comparison to Bco1−/−/Ldlr−/− mice fed a diet containing β-carotene (bottom image). (See Zhou et al., p. 1491.)...Show more
