| Popis: | Background: Serum carotenoids consist of a variety of different compounds. Xanthoderma may result from an increased concentration of any of the carotenoids. Method and results: High-performance liquid chromatography of serum carotenoids shows that a normal chromatogram contains mainly β-carotene, lutein and lycopene. Serum α- and β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin were found to be increased in the investigation of hypercarotenaemia. Conclusion: Patients presenting with possible xanthoderma should have a dietary history taken and serum sent for carotenoid analysis. |
