Beta-carotene (10%) Applications
- Photoprotection: Beta-carotene reduces sunburn and photooxidative skin damage, significantly lowering erythema formation.
- Heart Health: Low serum β-carotene levels are associated with an increased risk of heart failure and cardiac death in men.
- Liver Protection: Acts as a potent antioxidant, guarding the liver against toxins and drug-induced damage.
- Ethanol-Induced Damage Prevention: In rats, dietary β-carotene supplementation prevents the increase of serum aminotransferases and GSH depletion caused by ethanol.
- Cell Viability and Antioxidant Enhancement: Improves hepatocyte viability, increases catalase activities, and boosts glutathione levels in ethanol-fed rats.
- Oxidative Stress Reduction: Ameliorates oxidative stress, enhances antioxidant capacity, and decreases CYP2E1 expression and apoptosis in liver cells.
