Effect of β-carotene on catechol-induced genotoxicity in vitro: evidence of both enhanced and reduced DNA damage.

abstract：:Various lines of evidence indicate that an important part in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is the modification of the plasma low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). A large number of pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic properties have been ascribed to the oxidatively modified LDLs and their components. There is consid...
