Background/Aim: The polyene carotenoids β-carotene and lycopene are antioxidants that
not only quench singlet oxygen but also inhibit lipid peroxidation. Tri-n-butyl borane (TBB) is …

Excessive and prolonged generation of superoxide (O2−) and nitric oxide (NO) from
inflammatory leukocytes is associated with several lifestyle-related diseases, including …

A micro-assay was developed and validated, using a microplate reader in 96-well format,
C11–BODIPY581/591 as fluorescent probe and AIBN as ROO generator. The structure …

Carotenoids are effective antioxidants, which can quench singlet oxygen, suppress lipid
peroxidation, and prevent oxidative damage. Both Pseudorabies virus (PRV) and human …

BACKGROUND: Multiple oxidants oxidize biological molecules in vivo to induce their non-
regulated oxidative modification and consequently antioxidants against multiple oxidants …

In order to investigate chemical scavenging mechanism of singlet oxygen, superoxide anion
radical, and hydroxyl radical by carotenoids, reaction products obtained by reacting β …

Abstract β-Carotene has shown antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities; however, its
molecular mechanism has not been clearly defined. We examined in vitro and in vivo …

Aim To investigate the inhibition capacities of carnosol, rosmanol, and epirosmanol, which
are phenolic diterpenes from Rosmarinus officinalis, to oxidized low-density lipoprotein …

Chronic inflammation, a process linked to increased oxidative stress, may induce many
diseases. Whether β-carotene prevents inflammation is unclear. Using phorbol-12-myristate …

Carotenoids are one of the most widespread pigment groups distributed in nature, and more
than 700 natural carotenoids have been described so far, and new carotenoids are …
