Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

In the study, beta-carotene seemed to decrease MMC induced mean SCE/cell values, but did not have an effect on unstimulated cells.

At the time at which the maximum induction was observed, which coincided between experiments, the frequency of micronuclei induced by benzo(a)pyrene was reduced by 41-61% and that induced by mitomycin C was reduced by 44-71% in the presence of beta-carotene.
Our results suggest that beta-carotene provides significant protection against the genotoxicity of benzo(a)pyrene and mitomycin C.
