Nutrient modulation of DNA repair in lung cancer
Eroglu, A., & Balbuena, E. (2020, April). FASEB JOURNAL, Vol. 34.
TL;DR:
While β‐ carotene increased OGG1 expression at lower doses, it led to a dramatic decrease at higher concentrations suggesting that at higher doses β‐carotene exerted a pro‐oxidant effect, the objective is to illustrate the molecular mechanisms behind the chemoprotective effects of major dietary carotenoids.
