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.

Effect of Processing Parameters on Physicochemical Properties of β-Carotene Nanocrystal: A Statistical Experimental Design Analysis

Incorporation of functional foods and nutraceuticals such as carotenoids which suffer from poor water solubility and low bioavailability into nano-sized delivery systems can improve their solubility, stability and oral bioavailability. The aim of this study was to prepare β-Carotene nanodispersion and investigate the effects of preparation parameters by means of response surface methodology usi...
