Dietary carotenoid intake and colorectal cancer risk.
Several studies have found inverse associations between fruit and vegetable consumption and colorectal cancer risk, suggesting the potential etiological importance of carotenoids (and other phytochemicals) contained in these foods. However, only one study (a case-control study) has examined the association between dietary carotenoids other than beta-carotene and colorectal cancer risk. In the s...
متن کاملEstimating nutrient intake in comparative studies of animals: an example using dietary carotenoid content in birds
Many different methods of reporting animal diets have been used in ecological research. These vary greatly in level of accuracy and precision and therefore complicate attempts to measure and compare diets, and quantitites of nutrients in those diets, across a wide range of taxa. For most birds, the carotenoid content of the diet has not been directly measured. Here, therefore, I use an avian ex...
متن کاملComparison of carotenoid content in fresh, frozen and canned corn
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...
متن کاملThe carotenoid content of colostrum.
It was shown by van Eeckelen (1) that the yellow color of colostrum was due to the high content of carotenoids but the mechanism has not been clari i ed. By estimating the vitamin A level of the blood both during pregnancy and in the puerperal period, it has been shown that the plasma A level drops rapidly in the last stages of pregnancy even when adequate nourishment is given the mother. It ha...
متن کاملEffect of Dietary Carotenoid Supplementation on Food Intake and Immune Function in a Songbird with no Carotenoid Coloration
Carotenoid-based coloration is a common sexually selected trait in birds and fishes (Hill 2006). Their inexorable link to nutrition and their chemical tractability have made carotenoid colors fashionable models for investigating the costs and benefits of sexual features (McGraw 2006). The last decade of work on the signal content of carotenoid colors has uncovered several apparently Corresponde...
