A review on antioxidants, prooxidants and related controversy: natural and synthetic compounds, screening and analysis methodologies and future perspectives. (2013, background): “Although not much evidence is found, it is proposed that carotenoids can also display prooxidant effects especially through autoxidation in the presence of high concentrations of oxygen-forming hydroxyl radicals (Young and Lowe, 2001).”
Role of oxygen radicals in DNA damage and cancer incidence (2004, background): “The term ‘pro-oxidant activity’ involves the ‘ability’ of β-carotene to increase the total radical yield in the system [196–200].”
Factors Influencing the Chemical Stability of Carotenoids in Foods (2010, neutral): “6) (Britton, 1995; Gao et al., 1997, 2003; Young and Lowe, 2001; Burke et al., 2001; Mortensen et al., 1997).”
Astaxanthin: A Review of its Chemistry and Applications (2006, background): “Recent reviews on the subject have summarized the available data and experimental evidence on the antioxidant/prooxidant activity of carotenoids in different lipid systems ( Palozza, 1998 ; Haila, 1999 ; Young and Lowe, 2001 ).”
The role of carotenoids in the prevention of human pathologies. (2004, background): “They are also effective deactivators of electronically excited sensitizer molecules which are involved in the generation of radicals and singlet oxygen [66].”
The importance of antioxidants which play the role in cellular response against oxidative/nitrosative stress: current state (2015, neutral): “vitamin C or E [195].”
Antioxidant activity of carotenoids. (2003, background): “Further, they are effective deactivators of electronically excited sensitizer molecules which are involved in the generation of radicals and singlet oxygen (Truscott, 1990; Young and Lowe, 2001).”
Significance of Antioxidant Potential of Plants and its Relevance to Therapeutic Applications (2015, background): “Carotenoids, which are abundant in fruits and vegetables, scavenge peroxyl radicals and act predominantly as antioxidants [97].”
Carotenoid actions and their relation to health and disease. (2005, background): “, 2002; Stahl and Sies, 2002; Krinsky, 2003) or prooxidant (Edge and Truscott, 1997; Palozza, 1998) effects of carotenoids, and some have appeared describing both actions (Young and Lowe, 2001).”
Xanthophyll carotenoids are more bioaccessible from fruits than dark green vegetables (2007, background): “action and the interaction of carotenoids with ROS and coantioxidants [7].”
Availability of nonpigmentary antioxidant affects red coloration in gulls (2008, background): “One of the functions attributed to carotenoids is their antioxidant activity (Krinsky 2001; Young and Lowe 2001; Rao AV and Rao LG 2007).”
A global perspective on carotenoids: Metabolism, biotechnology, and benefits for nutrition and health. (2018, background): “when highly reactive carotenoid breakdown products (including aldehydes such as retinal and epoxides) formed in the course of antioxidant action accumulate, or when carotenoid detoxifying mechanisms are compromised [418-420].”
Oxidative Stress, Prooxidants, and Antioxidants: The Interplay (2014, background): “co-antioxidant molecules like vitamin C or E [184].”
