DNA damage and susceptibility to oxidative damage in lymphocytes: effects of carotenoids<i>in vitro</i>and<i>in vivo</i>
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Reports on the effects of carotenoids are conflicting. The present paper examines similarities and differences from contiguous studies in vitro and in vivo. Single-cell gel electrophoresis was used to measure the frequency of single-strand breaks (SSB) in the cell line MOLT-17 (as a model system) and human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). MOLT-17 cells were supplemented with beta-carotene, lutein or lycopene...
