- W2045751750 abstract "beta-Carotene and other carotenoids are widely regarded as biological antioxidants. However, recent clinical trials indicate that beta-carotene supplements are not effective in disease prevention and raise questions about the biological significance of carotenoid antioxidant actions. To further explore this issue, we have reevaluated the antioxidant actions of beta-carotene in liposomal and biological membrane systems. In dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes in which 0.35 mol % beta-carotene was incorporated into the bilayer during liposome preparation, the carotenoid inhibited lipid peroxidation initiated by 10 mm azobis[amidinopropane HCl] (AAPH). In carotenoid-free liposome suspensions to which the same amount of beta-carotene was added, no antioxidant effect was observed. Supplementation of rat liver microsomes with beta-carotene in vitro yielded microsomes containing 1.7 nmol beta-carotene mg-1 and 0.16 nmol alpha-tocopherol mg-1 microsomal protein. In beta-carotene supplemented microsomes incubated with 10 mm AAPH under an air atmosphere, lipid peroxidation did not occur until alpha-tocopherol was depleted by approximately 60%. beta-Carotene exerted no apparent antioxidant effect and was not significantly depleted in the incubations. Similar results were obtained when the incubation was done at 3.8 torr O2. In liver microsomes from Mongolian gerbils fed beta-carotene-supplemented diets, beta-carotene levels were 16-37% of alpha-tocopherol levels. The kinetics of AAPH-induced lipid peroxidation were no different in beta-carotene-supplemented microsomes than in microsomes from unsupplemented animals, although the kinetics of beta-carotene and alpha-tocopherol depletion were similar. The results indicate that beta-carotene is ineffective as an antioxidant when added to preformed lipid bilayer membranes and that alpha-tocopherol is a much more effective membrane antioxidant than beta-carotene, regardless of the method of carotenoid-membrane incorporation. These results support a reevaluation of the proposed antioxidant role for beta-carotene in biological membranes." @default.
