Beta-carotene content of certain organs from two patients receiving high doses of beta-carotene.
We measured carotene in the livers of two patients receiving beta-carotene therapy for photosensitivity. In both patients, the amount of carotene was within reported ranges for patients on normal diets; no abnormal amounts of beta-carotene had accumulated in the livers after oral administration of large amounts of beta-carotene. Light-microscopic examination of the liver (specimen obtained at c...
متن کاملBeta-carotene and lung cancer*
Does beta-carotene increase, rather than decrease, human lung cancer rates? A large body of observational epidemiologic study has demonstrated that individuals who eat more fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids and/or who have higher levels of serum betacarotene have a lower risk of cancer, particularly lung cancer. This inverse relationship has been particularly strong in lung cancer patie...
متن کاملBeta-carotene: the controversy continues.
The three beta-carotene intervention trials: the Beta Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET), Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study (ATBC), and Physician's Health Study (PHS) have all pointed to a lack of effect of synthetic beta-carotene in decreasing cardiovascular disease or cancer risk in well-nourished populations. The potential contribution of beta-carotene suppleme...
متن کاملConformational ensembles of flexible beta-turn mimetics in DMSO-d6.
Beta-turns play an important role in peptide and protein chemistry, biophysics, and bioinformatics. The aim of this research was to study short linear peptides that have a high propensity to form beta-turn structures in solution. In particular, we examined conformational ensembles of beta-turn forming peptides with a general sequence CBz-L-Ala-L-Xaa-Gly-L-Ala-OtBu. These tetrapeptides, APGA, A(...
متن کاملBeta-carotene accumulation in serum and skin13
The accumulation off3-carotene in serum and skin was evaluated in human volunteers. A single S I -mg dose of 3-carotene given in the absence of dietary fat resulted in no detectable change in serum /3-carotene. The same dose administered with 200 g fat increased serum /3-carotene 2.5-fold at 40 h. Similarly, administering a-carotene daily in three divided doses with meals raised the serum /3-ca...
