Lipid standardization of serum fat-soluble antioxidant concentrations: the YALTA study1–3

چکیده
Background: Blood lipids can influence fat-soluble antioxidant concentrations and confound their interpretation as indicators of antioxidant intake status and disease risk. Objectives: The objectives were to identify lipoproteins that can confound the interpretation of serum fat-soluble antioxidants, to evaluate the amount of the confounding, and to recommend a method for standardizing blood concentrations of fat-soluble antioxidants. Design: Several methods of lipid standardization of fat-soluble antioxidants were evaluated in a large cohort of young adults with the use of both cross-sectional and longitudinal data analysis. Results: Tocopherol and carotenoid concentrations were associated with plasma total cholesterol and its components, LDL, HDL, and VLDL cholesterol (estimated as plasma total triacylglycerols/ 5), some of which were independent predictors for all of the fatsoluble antioxidants. Among supplement nonusers, the most amphipathic (polar) of the antioxidants ( -tocopherol, -tocopherol, and zeaxanthin plus lutein) and lycopene were associated strongly with these lipid fractions (R2 = 0.09, 0.40). Consistent with a causal association in which blood antioxidant concentrations change as blood lipid concentrations change, similar relations were found for changes in blood antioxidant and lipid concentrations over a 7-y period. Concentrations of the remaining carotenoids ( -cryptoxanthin, -carotene, and -carotene) had a weaker association with plasma lipoproteins (R2 < 0.06). Similar relations were found for supplement users. Conclusions: The simultaneous adjustment of the concentrations of tocopherols, zeaxanthin plus lutein, and lycopene for VLDL, HDL, and LDL cholesterol is recommended. This method is practical and can provide a basis for the standardization of carotenoid and tocopherol concentrations. Am J Clin Nutr 2003;77:458–66.

متن کاملEffects of L-carnitine on obesity, diabetes, and as an ergogenic aid.
Data on the functionalities of L-carnitine on obesity, diabetes, and as an ergogenic aid are summarized as follows: Obesity: Total lipid, triglyceride, and total protein increased during the 3T3-L1 cell differentiation. However, nonesterified carnitine (NEC), acid-soluble acylcarnitine (ASAC), and acid-insoluble acylcarnitine (AIAC) concentrations were lower in the differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. ...
