Lifestyle Behaviours and Plasma Vitamin C andβ-Carotene Levels from the ELAN Population (Liège, Belgium)

Lifestyle Behaviours and Plasma Vitamin C and β-Carotene Levels from the ELAN Population (Liège, Belgium)

Several factors, including fruit and vegetables intakes, have been shown to significantly influence the plasma concentrations of the two antioxidants vitamin C and β-carotene. Deficiency levels of 6 mg/L (34.2 μM) for vitamin C and of 0.22 mg/L (0.4 μM) for β-carotene have been suggested below which cardiovascular risk might be increased. The present study performed on 897 presumably healthy su...

Plasma Vitamin C, $-Carotene, Lipids and Lipoproteins in Young Adult Smokers and Non-Smokers

Cigarette smoke has been implicated as a significant contributing factor in the development of chronic diseases. The adverse effect of smoking may elicit oxidative stress. This study was designed to assess the role of cigarette smoke on plasma vitamin C, $-carotene, lipids and lipoproteins in smokers. Sixty subjects consisting of thirty male active smokers with mean age of 37±1.84 years and thi...
