متن کاملPro-oxidant and anti-oxidant mechanism(s) of BHT and beta-carotene in photocarcinogenesis.
An hypothesis for the role of free radicals in cancer was elaborated by D. Harman in 1962 who suggested that it might be possible to reduce the extent of damage caused by free radicals through three dietary changes: (i) caloric reduction, i.e., lowering the level of free radical reactions arising in the course of normal metabolism; (ii) minimize dietary components that tend to increase the leve...
