Determinants of plasma retinol, beta-carotene, and alpha-tocopherol during adolescence

The relationships of plasma retinol, retinol-binding protein (RBP), beta-carotene, and alpha-tocopherol with their potential determinants, plasma cholesterol and triglyceride, body fat, dietary intake, stages of pubertal development, and drugs, were examined in a French sample of 263 boys and 246 girls aged 10-15 y. By use of multiple-regression analysis, plasma retinol concentration was positively related to plasma cholesterol and triglyceride, sexual-maturation index, body fat, and being male. For plasma RBP the same predictors were identified. Plasma beta-carotene was positively related to plasma cholesterol and beta- carotene nutrient density and negatively related to body fat and plasma triglyceride. Three predictors of plasma alpha-tocopherol were identified: plasma cholesterol and vitamin E nutrient density, which were positively related to its concentration, and sexual-maturation index, which was negatively related. These results confirm that physiological developmental age should be considered in epidemiologic studies of plasma fat-soluble vitamins in adolescents.
