Beta-carotene as antioxidant.

European journal of clinical nutrition, 1996
Beta-carotene has been shown to exhibit a good radical-trapping antioxidant activity in vitro. We were interested to see if dietary beta-carotene in combination with various intake levels for vitamin A would also inhibit lipid peroxidation.Sixty male Wistar rats received vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate) for 14 weeks in the diet (40,000, 4000 and 400 IU/

Bioavailability of beta-carotene in humans

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1988
Normal healthy volunteers were studied after they ingested various beta-carotene doses. Daily administration of 15 or 45 mg beta-carotene resulted in significant increase in plasma beta-carotene levels. The extent of increase and the pattern of plasma beta-carotene levels showed substantial interindividual variation.
