Int J Mol Sci
. 2024 Jan;
25(1).
PMID: 38203675
In the retina, retinoids involved in vision are under constant threat of oxidation, and their oxidation products exhibit deleterious properties. Using pulse radiolysis, this study determined that the bimolecular rate...

. 2021 Mar;
20(1):183-188.
PMID: 33721239
A hypothesis is proposed to explain the increased detrimental effect of COVID-19 for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) men and women compared to Caucasian individuals. This is based on...

Boehm F, Edge R, Truscott T
Photochem Photobiol Sci
. 2020 Jun;
19(8):1001-1009.
PMID: 32589182
The interactions of dietary carotenoids, and particularly the xanthophylls in the macula, with singlet oxygen and three different oxy-radicals, (hydroxyl radical, nitrogen dioxide and the superoxide radical anion) are compared...

Black H, Boehm F, Edge R, Truscott T
Antioxidants (Basel)
. 2020 Mar;
9(3).
PMID: 32210038
Carotenoid pigments, particularly β-carotene and lycopene, are consumed in human foodstuffs and play a vital role in maintaining health. β-carotene is known to quench singlet oxygen and can have strong...

Int J Mol Sci
. 2019 Jun;
20(11).
PMID: 31181693
Retinoids are present in human tissues exposed to light and under increased risk of oxidative stress, such as the retina and skin. Retinoid cation radicals can be formed as a...

Edge R, Truscott T
Antioxidants (Basel)
. 2018 Jan;
7(1).
PMID: 29301252
We report on studies of reactions of singlet oxygen with carotenoids and retinoids and a range of free radical studies on carotenoids and retinoids with emphasis on recent work, dietary...

Bohm F, Edge R, Truscott T
Acta Biochim Pol
. 2012 Mar;
59(1):27-30.
PMID: 22428151
The dietary carotenoids provide photoprotection to photosynthetic organisms, the eye and the skin. The protection mechanisms involve both quenching of singlet oxygen and of damaging free radicals. The mechanisms for...

Arch Biochem Biophys
. 2010 Aug;
504(1):100-3.
PMID: 20678468
Time-resolved pulse radiolysis investigations reported herein show that the carotenoids β-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin (the last two are xanthophylls--oxygen containing carotenoids) are capable of both reducing oxidized guanosine as...

. 2010 Jul;
101(1):97-102.
PMID: 20656501
Natural compounds which can behave as antioxidants and protect against UV-radiation may well have medical and cosmetic value. Usnic acid, which can be obtained from lichens offer such a potential....

PMID: 19179091
Fundamental photophysical properties have been obtained for six polyaromatics, calycine, usnic acid, vicanicine, 1-Cl-pannerine and epiphorelic acids I and II, extracted from Antarctic lichens--potential future sunscreens. None of the lichen...
