carotenoids de novo, hence they must rely up<strong>on</strong> dietary sources <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> order to access them (Furr <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>Clark, 1997; Y<strong>on</strong>ekura <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Nagao, 2007).2.6.2 Metabolism of carotenoids <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> salm<strong>on</strong>id fishCarotenoids are lipid soluble compounds, c<strong>on</strong>sequently they are metabolized (i.e.digested, absorbed <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> transported) accord<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g to the matabolic pathways followed by lipidmolecules (Castenmiller <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> West, 1998; Rajas<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>gh et al., 2006).Carotenoids are solubilized <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> lipid droplets after be<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g released from feed with<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> thestomach. Lipid aggregates are further emulsified by liver-secreted bile <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> the duodenum.Emulsified lipids are then hydrolysed (by pancreatic lipases) <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>to free fatty acids <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>m<strong>on</strong>oglycerols, which rema<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> associated with carotenoids, other lipids <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> bile acids <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>structures called mixed micelles. Polar xanthophylls are found <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> the surface of lipid emulsi<strong>on</strong>s<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> mixed micelles. On the other h<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>, less polar carotenes are located with<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> the hydrophobiccore from these assemblies (Borel et al., 1996; Furr <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Clarck, 1997). Molecules positi<strong>on</strong>edwith<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> surface of this lipid structures can be sp<strong>on</strong>taneously transferred as opposed to comp<strong>on</strong>entattached to the core, which need digesti<strong>on</strong> before be<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g released (Borel et al., 1996).Carotenoids with<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> micelles are absorbed, al<strong>on</strong>g with other lipids, by <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>test<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>al cells(enterocytes) through simple diffusi<strong>on</strong>. With<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> the enterocyte, carotenoids are aggregated <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>totriglyceride-rich lipoprote<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>s called chylomicr<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> released <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>to the lymph <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> eventually<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>to the blood stream for deliver to peripheral tissue <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> liver.11
