Abstract excerpt
Adipose tissue is a major storage site for provitamin A carotenoids (proVA CAR)-mainly β-carotene (BCAR), α-carotene (ACAR), and β-cryptoxanthin (BCRY). However, the determinants of their concentrations in this tissue remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify genetic variants associated with adipose tissue proVA CAR concentrations. Periumbilical adipose tissue samples were collected on six occasions...
