Abstract
Conflicting reports of the effects of beta-carotene supplementation on serum alpha-tocopherol concentration led us to evaluate serum alpha-t ocopherol in subjects with and without beta-carotene (30 mg/day) suppl ementation for up to 2 years duration in an ongoing chemoprevention tr ial, No adverse effect has been observed at any of the time periods ex amined.
