The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different types of tomato processing on contents of lycopene, beta-carotene, and alpha-tocopherol. Samples of tomato sauce, tomato soup, baked tomato slices, and tomato juice were taken at different times of heating, respectively, after each step of production. HPLC was used to analyze contents of carotenoids and vitamin E. Due to the loss ...
BACKGROUND Epidemiologic evidence indicates that diets high in carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables, as well as high serum levels of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and beta carotene, are associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer. METHODS We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled primary-prevention trial to determine whether daily supplementation with alpha-tocopherol, bet...
BACKGROUND In observational studies, individuals with high intakes of fruits and vegetables containing beta-carotene experience lower risks of developing cancer. However, the few randomized trials of beta-carotene supplementation show no overall benefits; some even suggest harm. This trial was designed to test the effects of beta-carotene supplementation in women. METHODS The Women's Health S...
Although the pharmacological role of beta-carotene in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer has received increasing attention, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of action of this carotenoid. The present study demonstrates that beta-carotene, a natural pigment widely present in fruit and vegetables, inhibits the growth of several human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines (COLO 32...
BACKGROUND Vitamin E and beta-carotene affect various measures of immune function and accordingly might influence the predisposition of humans to infections. However, only few controlled trials have tested this hypothesis. STUDY OBJECTIVE To examine whether vitamin E or beta-carotene supplementation affects the risk of pneumonia in a controlled trial. DESIGN AND SETTING The Alpha-Tocopherol...
The objective of this paper was to review the strategies for lung cancer chemoprevention. A retrospective assessment of the major findings from the most informative lung cancer chemoprevention clinical trials [alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), beta-carotene trial and beta-carotene and retinol efficacy trial] was employed. Both trials and many others showed no benefit from what was once the prime ca...
The antioxidant activities of astaxanthin and related carotenoids have been measured by employing a newly developed fluorometric assay. This assay is based on 4,4-difluoro-3,5-bis(4-phenyl-1, 3-butadienyl)-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY 665/676) as an indicator; 2,2'-azobis-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile (AMVN) as a peroxyl radical generator; and 6-hydroxy-2,5,7, 8-tetramethylchroman-2-carbox...
A method for the determination of beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin including their cis-isomers and alpha-carotene in commercial dietary supplements by HPLC has been developed. The study comprises 11 oral dosage forms, including 9 soft gelatin capsules, 1 dragée, and 1 effervescent tablet formulation. The capsule content was extracted with an acetone-hexane mixture, and the gelatin shell wa...
