Biologically active polymers from spontaneous carotenoid oxidation: a new frontier in carotenoid activity.
In animals carotenoids show biological activity unrelated to vitamin A that has been considered to arise directly from the behavior of the parent compound, particularly as an antioxidant. However, the very property that confers antioxidant activity on some carotenoids in plants also confers suscepti...
