In a case-control study, the authors investigated relations between plasma carotenoid concentrations and the prevalence of colorectal adenomatous polyps (precursors to colorectal cancer) in residents of Los Angeles County and Orange County, California, from 1991 through 1993. Plasma concentrations of six carotenoids were compared in 472 asymptomatic cases with a first-time diagnosis of at least...
Intake of specific carotenoids and essential fatty acids and breast cancer risk in Montreal, Canada.
BACKGROUND Evidence from previous investigations into the possible role of dietary and serum carotenoid concentrations in the etiology of breast cancer is inconsistent. No study has examined the combined effect of carotenoids and essential fatty acids on the risk of breast cancer. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess the possible association between specific and total carotenoids and breast ...
Temperature and pressure effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) on the extraction of carotenoids and seed oil from rosehip fruits have been studied. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has shown much potential skills for the isolation of organic compounds from various samples. SFE minimizes sample handling, provides fairly clean extracts, expedites sample preparation and reduces the u...
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) leaves were studied to assess the potential of apricot leaves for future studies and their applications in nutraceutical and bioactive functional ingredients. The changes in the phenolic profile, carotenoids, pigments and antioxidant potential were studied at four maturation stages. Polyphenols and carotenoids were studied using reversed-phase HPLC-DAD. Pigments, t...
BACKGROUND Findings from epidemiologic studies examining associations of serum retinol and carotenoids with prostate cancer risk have been inconsistent. This case-control study nested in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial evaluated associations of serum retinol and carotenoids with total, low-, and high-grade prostate cancer risk in a highly screened study population. METHODS We used logist...
PURPOSE Vitamin A takes part in many physiological and pathological processes in women's reproductive organs. The study objective was to compare the carotenoid content in benign and malignant lesions of the breast, ovary and uterus, and to demonstrate quantitative and qualitative similarities or differences between the study groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS Materials for analysis were physiologi...
In animals yellow-orange-red sexual traits pigmented by carotenoids have been suggested to act as signals of current health. Because carotenoids have important physiological functions, individuals might trade-off allocating these pigments to self-maintenance versus coloration. Carotenoids may act as scavengers of free radicals that are released during an immune response. Here, we experimentally...
INTRODUCTION Carotenoids are plant pigment with important biological activities in humans, such as provitamin-A among others. At present, there are no individual carotenoid intake data in the Dominican population, which is at risk of vitamin A deficiency and has an important percentage of overweight and obese individuals . OBJECTIVE To assess the individual components of vitamin A intake (ret...
BACKGROUND In addition to their possible direct biological effects, plasma carotenoids can be used as biochemical markers of fruit and vegetable consumption for identifying diet-disease associations in epidemiological studies. Few studies have compared levels of these carotenoids between countries in Europe. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to assess the variability of plasma carotenoid levels within th...
The carotenoid content of fresh, commercially canned and frozen samples of two cultivars, White Shoepeg (WS) and Golden Whole Kernel (GWK) corn (Zea mays), from the same production field was studied. WS and GWK corn samples were harvested daily over a five-day-period and randomly selected for analysis as fresh, frozen or canned. Major carotenoids detected were lutein and zeaxanthin, and to a le...
