In vitro | Squalene is a triterpene that is an intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. In vitro experimental evidence indicates that squalene is a highly effective oxygen-scavenging agent and possesses antioxidant properties[1]. | |||||
In vivo | Squalene appears to be critical in reducing free radical oxidative damage to the skin. It can effectively inhibit chemically induced skin tumorigenesis in rodents[1]. | |||||
