beta-Carotene is thought to be a chain-breaking antioxidant, even though we have no information about the mechanism of its antioxidant activity. Using electron-spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy coupled to the spin-trapping technique, we have studied the effect of beta-carotene and lutein on the radi
