beta-Carotene (Provitamin A), a carotenoid compound, is a naturally-occurring vitamin A precursor. beta-Carotene is a modulator of reactive oxygen species (ROS), with antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities. beta-Carotene may serve as an antioxidant or as a prooxidant, depending on its intrinsic properties as well as on the redox potential of the biological environment in which it acts. beta-Carotene induces breast cancer cells apoptosis, with anticancer activities[1][2][3][4][5].
