Electrical properties of phosphatidylcholine bilayers containing canthaxanthin or β-carotene, investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
2017, Journal of Electroanalytical ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Hereby, the better understanding of the physicochemical properties of carotenoids and their interactions with lipids is necessary to clarify the exact mechanism of their function in biological membranes. Numerous studies using the model systems have showed several effects of carotenoids on the structure and dynamics of lipid membranes e.g. nuclear magnetic resonance [16], light scattering [17], differential scanning calorimetry [18] or electron spin resonance [19]. In spite of such a broad experimental approach, the behavior of carotenoids, especially CAN and βC, in biological membranes is not unequivocally determined [20].

2014, Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering AspectsCitation Excerpt :In the past decades an extensive effort for better understanding of the co-packing of carotenoids and lipids inside the membranes and their molecular interactions has been undertaken. The structural properties and molecular dynamics of lipid lamellar phases in the presence of carotenoids have been studied by various experimental methods: nuclear magnetic resonance [1], electron paramagnetic resonance [2], light scattering [3], differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) [4] and X-ray diffractometry [5]. It was shown, that β-carotene (βC) had fluidizing behavior by decreasing the order within phospholipid membranes [2,6].

2000, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - BiomembranesCitation Excerpt :The results of the research carried out in the last decade show, in addition, that carotenoid pigments and in particular polar carotenoids, xanthophylls, are important biomolecules modifying the structural and dynamic properties of lipid membranes (see [3] for a review). Several experimental techniques have been applied to study the effect of carotenoid pigments on lipid membranes such as electron spin resonance [4–8], nuclear magnetic resonance [9,10], differential scanning calorimetry [11,12], circular dichroism [13], ultrasound absorption [14–16], quasi-elastic light scattering [17,18], fluorescence labelling of a lipid phase [19] and the interior of carotenoid pigmented liposomes [20]. In general, carotenoid pigments modify lipid membranes in a fashion similar to cholesterol, except the effect of xanthophylls is approximately twice as strong as this one observed in the case of cholesterol.

2000, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - BiomembranesCitation Excerpt :Incorporation into the bilayer is likely to influence the ability of both xanthophylls to act as antioxidants. Apolar carotenes have been reported to perturb the acyl chain packing and to increase bilayer permeability [23,28,29]. It might happen that canthaxanthin played this role in our system, thus reducing its antioxidant properties due to a higher accessibility of the lipids to the external oxidative agent.
