1 Complement c3 is inversely associated with habitual intake of provitamin A but not with dietary fat, fatty acids, or vitamin E in middle-aged to older white adults and positively associated with intake of retinol in middle-aged to older white women. beta Carotene complement C3 Homo sapiens
2 We observed an inverse association with intake of provitamin A carotenoids alpha-carotene (in mug/d; regression coefficient beta = -0.075; 95% CI: -0.140, -0.010; P = 0.025) and beta-carotene (in mug/d; beta = -0.021; 95% CI: -0.044, 0.002; P = 0.068) with C3 (in mg/L). beta Carotene complement C3 Homo sapiens
3 In conclusion, these data suggest that fasting concentrations of C3 may, in a complex manner, be modifiable by variation in dietary provitamin A carotenoids and/or retinol content of the usual diet but most likely not by variations in fat composition and vitamin E content. beta Carotene complement C3 Homo sapiens
