Abstract

A high intake of fruit and vegetables is believed to be protective against heart disease and cancer. beta-Carotene has been closely examined for evidence of these protective properties but evidence is still conflicting and there are many other carotenoids in plant foods which deserve attention. This paper reports studies on the concentrations of lutein and lycopene in the triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein (TRL) fraction of plasma in comparison with beta-carotene following a large dose of the respective carotenoids fed with a standard meal after an overnight fast. beta-Carotene (40 mg) was given to twelve volunteers (six men and six women) and six of the same volunteers (three men and three women) also received 31.2 mg lutein or 38 mg lycopene. Plasma was collected at hourly intervals for 8 h and the TRL fraction was separated and subsequently analysed for the respective carotenoids and retinyl palmitate in the case of beta-carotene. Intestinal uptake of the three carotenoids was estimated using the 'area under the curve' method and apparent absorption was calculated from these results. The response curves in the TRL fraction for beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate occurred maximally over the fourth to fifth hour postprandially. ...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
