• Carotenoids: biochemistry, pharmacology and treatment (2016, background): “Carotenoids belong to the tetraterpenes family (C40-based isoprenoid), responsible for the yellow, orange or red colour of fruits, leaves and flowers (Kaulmann and Bohn, 2014; Tapiero et al., 2004).”
• Bioactive Compounds and Health-Promoting Properties of Berry Fruits: A Review (2008, background): “Carotenoids have the ability to scavenge the active forms of oxygen, thus preventing the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins [113, 114 ].”
• Oxidative stress, free radicals and antioxidants: potential crosstalk in the pathophysiology of human diseases (2023, background): “ß-Carotene act as an antioxidant under low oxygen tension and can also act as a prooxidant under more oxidizing and high concentration level in the case of smokers (Tapiero et al., 2004).”
