Background: Low tissue concentrations of carotenoids have been suggested to contribute to
insulin resistance in obesity. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to 1) evaluate the …

Background Dietary carotenoids are related to a decreased risk of certain diseases. Serum
and adipose tissue carotenoid concentrations are used as biomarkers of intake. Objectives …

Background: Plasma and adipose tissue concentrations of carotenoids are thought to reflect
short-and long-term intakes of carotenoids, respectively. The ability of adipose tissue …

Purpose Many epidemiological studies find an inverse correlation between carotenoids
intake or carotenoids plasma concentrations and body mass index (BMI), insulin resistance …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Few epidemiological studies have investigated the relationship
between abdominal adiposity and serum levels of carotenoids. This study investigated the …

Carotenoids have antioxidant properties. Little is known about the relation of dietary
carotenoid intake on metabolic syndrome risk. We examined whether dietary carotenoid …

Cross-sectional studies report an inverse association between BMI and serum carotenoid
concentration. The present study examined the prospective association between BMI and …

BACKGROUND: Carotenoids may reduce the risk for diabetes mellitus, but little is known
about the association of insulin resistance with serum carotenoids in non-diabetic subjects …

Cell, animal and human studies dealing with carotenoids and carotenoid derivatives as
nutritional regulators of adipose tissue biology with implications for the etiology and …

To evaluate the relationship between carotenoid concentrations in serum and breast tissue,
we measured serum carotenoid concentrations and endogenous carotenoid levels in breast …
