Supplementation with carotenoids inhibits singlet oxygen-mediated oxidation of human plasma low-density lipoprotein.
1996-08-01
Abstract excerpt
To study the role of carotenoids in the antioxidant defense against oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, human LDL rich in beta-carotene and lycopene was prepared from a healthy volunteer following long-term supplementation with tomato juice. This carotenoid-supplemented LDL accumulated cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides (CE-OOH) more slowly than the LDL prepared before supplementation...
