The effect of β-carotene on lung and skin carcinogenesis
نویسنده
چکیده
The induction of pre-cancerous squamous metaplasia in lungs of ferrets by high doses of dietary β-carotene (BC) and cigarette smoke is compared with and contrasted to the different effects of high doses of dietary BC on skin papilloma and carcinoma induction by the two-stage carcinogenesis protocol. Whereas high dietary BC can inhibit the conversion of skin papillomas to carcinomas, such treatment would not be expected to inhibit smokeinduced lung tumors.

متن کاملStatistical Optimization of The Four Key Factors on β-Carotene Production by Dunaliella salina Under Laboratory Conditions Using Response Surface Methodology
During recent years, there was growing demand in using microalga valuable products such as β-carotene in health care. β-Carotene has anti-cancer and anti-aging properties for human. In Dunaliella salina cells, β-carotene has a major protecting role for biomolecules, when the production of reactive oxygen species elevated. In the present study, we investigated the influence of the four most effe...
