Possible Interaction: Carotene and Carotenoids

“However, various carotenoids that coexist with β‐carotene in vegetables and fruits also have anticarcinogenic activity.”

“Similarly, dietary total carotenoids and specific carotenoids, α‐carotene , β‐carotene, and lutein/zeaxanthin were inversely associated with hip fracture risk.”

“Despite variation in carotene content of the treatment medication, serum carotene concentrations increased significantly to twice the baseline levels to 18 months follow-up in participants who received carotenoids treatment compared with controls (P<0.0001).”

“From a mechanistic point of view, the delay in cell growth by β‐carotene was highly coincident with the increased intracellular reactive oxygen species production and oxidized glutathione content induced by the carotenoid.”
