beta-Carotene: an unusual type of lipid antioxidant.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
New experiments in vitro show that beta-carotene belongs to a previously unknown class of biological antioxidants, and exhibits good radical-trapping antioxidant behavior only at partial pressures of oxygen significantly less than 150 torr, the pressure of oxygen in normal air.
