Serum beta-carotene and SC/SR levels in NAFLD patients were significantly lower than these in controls (0.23 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.35 +/- 0.04 mu mol/L, 0.38 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.84 +/- 0.10). Compared with individuals without SS, both beta-carotene and SC/SR levels were significantly decreased...

Because there is a significant decline in plasma carotenoid levels within the first 2 wk of a low carotenoid diet, determination of levels of these compounds may be useful only in the assessment of short-term intake. 展开 关键词: carotenoids beta-carotene humans depletion diet biological marker ...
Beta-carotene (BC) is a carotenoid phytochemical that, in mammals, can function as a precursor of the vitamin A retinoids (i.e., retinol, retinal, retinoic acid), as well as having vitamin A-independent activities [2]. Dietary carotenoids, including BC and subcutaneously administered retinoids...
