Serum β‐carotene concentrations are associated with self‐reported fatty acid intake in United States adults from the National Health and Examination Surveys Open
Bioavailability of dietary β‐carotene (BC) is dependent on dose, quantity, dispersion, and presence of fat in the diet. Fats are comprised of a variety of fatty acids, which may impact the bioavailability of carotenoids. However, there is …

Dietary Fat Chain Length, Saturation, and PUFA Source Acutely Affect Diet-Induced Thermogenesis but Not Satiety in Adults in a Randomized, Crossover Trial Open
Structural differences in dietary fatty acids modify their rate of oxidation and effect on satiety, endpoints that may influence the development of obesity. This study tests the hypothesis that meals containing fat sources with elevated un…

The Relationship Between Serum β-Carotene Concentrations and Reported Dietary β-Carotene Intakes Is Moderated by BMI in U.S. Adults Open
OBJECTIVES: Serum β-carotene (BC) concentrations are not reflective of dietary BC status as serum concentrations can vary as a result of intake, lifestyle factors, adiposity, and physiological factors related to digestion and absorption. L…

Increased Concentrations of Serum β-carotene, α-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin Are Associated with Lower Visceral Adipose Tissue in U.S. Adults Open
OBJECTIVES: There is a positive relationship between visceral adiposity and cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). Recent data report lower serum carotenoids in individuals with obesity. Longitudinal studies show an inverse relationship between C…

Saturated Fatty Acids from Dairy Increase Energy Expenditure Following an Acute Meal Challenge (P08-015-19) Open
OBJECTIVES: Evidence suggests that the amount of fatty acid saturation and chain length affect fatty acid oxidation. Metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids may increase energy expenditure and shorter chain fatty acids may be selectively oxi…

Serum Carotenoid Concentrations Are Weakly Associated with Reported Fatty Acid Intake in U.S. Adults (P02-002-19) Open
OBJECTIVES: Dietary carotenoids β-carotene (BCAR), lutein (LUT), and lycopene (LYC) are sourced from fruits and vegetables. The bioavailability of carotenoids is dependent on multiple post-digestion factors, especially the presence of fat …
