beta-carotene at levels found in normal pregnant women (0.5 mumol/L) or at levels achieved with beta-carotene supplementation (1 mumol/L) inhibited peroxide-induced vasoconstriction and lipid peroxide and thromboxane secretion. Levels of beta-carotene found in preeclamptic women (0.25 mumol/L) did not inhibit peroxide-induced vasoconstriction or lipid peroxide secretion.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
