• Carotenoids in cardiology research: Research evaluates the intake of carotenoids, including betacarotene, using food records and biomarkers in an Australian cardiology cohort, highlighting its importance in dietary assessments and potential impacts on cardiovascular health (Kucianski et al., 2024).


• Antioxidant applications in nutrition: A comprehensive review of dietary patterns mentions the role of betacarotene among other carotenoids, focusing on its antioxidant properties and correlations with healthful dietary indices (Holthaus et al., 2024).

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

The most important of the provitamins A, β-carotene can be classified as an antioxidant due to its inhibition of radical initiated peroxidation in vitro. However, in vivo it appears to act either as an antioxidant or a prooxidant depending on cellular environment. It reduces the incidence of many cancers, but enhances lung cancer incidence in smokers.
