The human skin, as the boundary organ between the human body and the environment, is
under the constant influence of free radicals (FR), both from the outside in and from the …

Environmental factors like air pollutants, radiation of the sun and stress factors such as
illness, smoking, or alcohol abuse produce free radicals in the human tissue as well as in …

The interaction of free radicals with antioxidants is a topic of increasing interest in the
development of prevention strategies against skin ageing. Carotenoids can serve as marker …

The antioxidant system of the human body plays a crucial role in maintaining redox
homeostasis and has an important protective function. Carotenoids have pronounced …

Variation in the level of the carotenoid antioxidant substances beta-carotene and lycopene
in the human skin of ten healthy volunteers was measured with resonance Raman …

The skin is shielding our organism from exogenous threats including solar radiation.
Carotenoids which are ingested with the diet accumulate in the skin with the highest levels …

Background: The cutaneous antioxidants form an efficient protection system against the
destructive potential of free radicals, produced by environmental factors, such as UV‐sun …

The influence of stress factors on human skin induces the production of free radicals. Free
radicals react immediately with antioxidants contained in the skin, giving rise to their …

In contrast to ultraviolet and infrared irradiation, which are known to facilitate cutaneous
photoaging, immunosuppression, or tumour emergence due to formation of free radicals and …

It is well known from the literature that carotenoid antioxidant substances decrease after the
irradiation of the skin with UV light. Available literature has shown no information about the …
