Low doses (below 20 mg/kg) of oral β-carotene inhibit, while high doses (above 100 mg/kg) activate ascorbate-dependent LPO in rat liver and myocardial cells. Administration of β-carotene in a dose of 20 mg/kg decreased by 34% infarction zone in coronary occlusion, while the dose of 100 mg/kg was ineffective. Anin vivo concentration-dependent inversion of β-carotene from antioxidant to prooxidant in tissues is hypothesized. Pharmacological efficacy of β-carotene is determined by its antioxidant…

In Vivo Analysis of Antioxidant and Prooxidant Properties of Retinol Acetate
Analysis of the effects of retinol acetate on LPO processes in vivo revealed antioxidant effects under normal conditions and during experimental free-radical pathology (toxic hepatosishepatitis). The…
Anti-atherogenic effects of a phenol-rich fraction from Brazilian red wine (Vitis labrusca L.) in hypercholesterolemic low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice.
TLDR
The results show for the first time that the lowest concentration of an EAF obtained from a red wine produced in southern Brazil significantly reduced the progression of atherosclerosis in mice.
Oleuropein prevents ethanol-induced gastric ulcers via elevation of antioxidant enzyme activities in rats
TLDR
Oleuropein has beneficial antioxidant properties against ethanol-induced gastric damages in the rat, and it seems that a combination regimen including both antioxidant and antisecretory drugs may be beneficial in prevention of ethanol-mediated gastric mucosal damages.
Tuning of the pro-oxidant and antioxidant activity of trolox through the controlled release from biodegradable poly(trolox ester) polymers.
TLDR
In this work, poly (trolox ester) nanoparticles were evaluated for their ability to either inhibit or induce cellular oxidative stress in a dose-dependent fashion, and possessed a unique ability to suppress protein oxidation.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF LOW FLUORINE CONCENTRATIONS ON THE TISSUE LEVEL OF HSP FAMILY PROTEINS
TLDR
The important role of stress-inducible HSP72 protein in protecting the brain from the damage caused by the prolonged exposure to low fluorine concentrations was shown and a protective role against fluoride exposure is played by the protein HSP32 with antioxidant properties.
Combined inhibitory effect of sulfur-containing phenol SO-4 with natural and synthetic antioxidants in the oxidation of methyl oleate
In a model system of initiated oxidation of methyl oleate, the antioxidant activities of 3-hydroxy-2-ethyl-6-methylpyridinesuccinate (mexidol) and bis[3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]…
Biological basis of using carotenoids
TLDR
The main toxicometric parameters of the preparations Karolin and Karsel are established, allowing them to be assigned to hazard class 4 (insignificantly hazardous substances) and the pharmacological properties of the given preparations effect activation of the main types of metabolism, an increase of the antioxidant potential of the organism, and a increase of natural resistance of animals.

beta-Carotene: an unusual type of lipid antioxidant.
TLDR
New experiments in vitro show that beta-carotene belongs to a previously unknown class of biological antioxidants, and exhibits good radical-trapping antioxidant behavior only at partial pressures of oxygen significantly less than 150 torr, the pressure of oxygen in normal air.
Comparison of antioxidant and prooxidant activity of various synthetic antioxidants.
TLDR
It has been shown that chromanoxyl radical formation from α-tocopherol can be achieved by O2- and by OH·1–3, and less numerous data exist on the reaction of synthetic antioxidants with O 2 - and OH· in model systems.
PROOXIDANT AND ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS OF ASCORBIC ACID AND METAL SALTS IN A β‐CAROTENE‐LINOLEATE MODEL SYSTEM
The interacting effects of ascorbic acid and metal ions on carotene oxidation were studied in an aqueous carotene-linoleate solution at pH 7. Ascorbic acid at concentrations up to 10—3 M was a…
Effects of a combination of beta carotene and vitamin A on lung cancer and cardiovascular disease.
TLDR
After an average of four years of supplementation, the combination of beta carotene and vitamin A had no benefit and may have had an adverse effect on the incidence of lung cancer and on the risk of death from lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and any cause in smokers and workers exposed to asbestos.
Direct observation of a free radical interaction between vitamin E and vitamin C
TLDR
Direct observation of the interaction between vitamin E and vitamin C and the resulting vitamin E radical then reacting with vitamin C to regenerate vitamin E is reported, which is felt to be an important feature in the maintenance of vitamin E levels in tissues.
Can dietary beta-carotene materially reduce human cancer rates?
TLDR
If dietary β-carotene is truly protective—which could be tested by controlled trials—there are a number of theoretical mechanisms whereby it might act, some of which do not directly involve its ‘provitamin A’ activity.
Antioxidants in Therapy and Preventive Medicine
TLDR
Twenty years ago, the enzyme superoxide dismutase which uses the superoxide radical anion as its specific substrate was reported and the possibil ity of influencing free radical related disease processes by antioxidant treatment was studied in various in vitro and in vivo systems.
Dietary vitamin C and beta-carotene and risk of death in middle-aged men. The Western Electric Study.
TLDR
The hypothesis that consumption of foods rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene reduces risk of death in middle-aged men is supported.
Superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and singlet oxygen in lipid peroxidation by a xanthine oxidase system.
Serum carotenoids and coronary heart disease. The Lipid Research Clinics Coronary Primary Prevention Trial and Follow-up Study.
TLDR
The LRC-CPPT participants with higher serum carotenoid levels had a decreased risk of incident CHD, and this finding was stronger among men who never smoked.
