Effects of beta-carotene supplementation on molecular markers of lung carcinogenesis in male smokers.

Two primary prevention trials unexpectedly showed adverse effects of supplemental beta-carotene on lung cancer incidence in cigarette smokers. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that might underlie these effects, we studied the immunohistochemical expression of cytochrome P450 1A1, 1A2, and 2E1, retinoic acid receptor beta, activated protein-1 elements, cyclin D1, and Ki67 in lung tumors and...

Dietary Carotenoids, Serum β-Carotene, and Retinol and Risk of Lung Cancer in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cohort Study

Findings from several β-carotene supplementation trials were unexpected and conflicted with most observational studies. Carotenoids other than β-carotene are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables and may play a role in this important malignancy, but previous findings regarding the five major carotenoids are inconsistent. The authors analyzed the associations between dietary β-carotene, β-...

Lung Tumor Development in Mice Exposed to Tobacco Smoke and Fed -Carotene Diets

In human clinical trials it was found that the putative chemopreventive agent -carotene not only failed to protect active smokers against the carcinogenic action of tobacco smoke, but actually increased their risk of developing lung cancer. In preclinical animal studies, -carotene had been effective against some chemically induced cancers, but not against tumors in the respiratory tract. We exp...

Vitamin C Intakes and Prostate Cancer Risk

Background: Vitamin E, β -carotene, and vitamin C are micronutrient antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative damage involved in prostate carcinogenesis. In separate trials, supplemental vitamin E was associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer among smokers and supplemental β -carotene was associated with a decreased risk of prostate can cer among men with low baseline plasma β -c...

Oral Supplementation of ?-Carotene Significantly Ameliorates Testicular Oxidative Stress in the Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rat

Background Our recent findings have shown that the rat testis is subjected to significant oxidative stress during the early phase of diabetes induced by Streptozotocin (STZ). In the present study, we have investigated whether oral supplementation of β-carotene (BC) to pubertal rats would provide protection against diabetes associated oxidative stress in testis and liver.
