  • Synergistic effect of compositions comprising carotenoids selected from lutein, beta-carotene and lycopene
    Publication number: 20070082044
    Abstract: The methods of the invention can be used to protect against lymphocyte DNA damage and free-radical associated disorders in a subject. The methods of the present invention can be used to increase the antioxidant capacity in both the aqueous and lipid compartments, decrease DNA oxidation, decrease lipid peroxidation, and increase antioxidant nutrient levels in the circulation. The protective effect of the physiologic dose of the mixed carotenoid supplement is rapid, consistent and cumulative.

  • Methods to measure lipid antioxidant activity
    Publication number: 20040259187
    Abstract: The present invention provides a selective method for measuring lipid antioxidant activity within a lipid compartment of a sample using lipophilic radical generators and oxidizable lipophilic indicators. The present invention accurately and efficiently determines the total antioxidant activity of a sample in both lipid and aqueous compartments. The methods of the invention can be used for diagnosing and protecting against disorders that arise from excess free radicals present in a subject. The reagents used in the methods of the invention can also be provided in a kit assay.
