“…As shown in Table 5, the levels of Toc and Ret in serum are correlated with the serum levels of Chol and TG. These correlations concur with our previous findings for the Nepalese in the Itahari district (24), for university students (34) and elementary school children (26) in Japan, and with those of other reports (19)(20)(21)(22). These results indicate that the changes in serum levels of Toc and Ret are closely related to the alterations in the Chol and TG levels.…”

“…It is logical that when Chol and TG levels were high, Toc and Ret were high, and that the nutritional status of Toc and Ret should not be estimated only from the serum levels. These findings suggest that the serum levels of Toc and Ret normalized to serum lipids, the ratios of Toc/Chol and Ret/Chol and the ratios of Toc/TG and Ret/TG, is a more precise way of assessing the nutritional status of Toc and Ret than the serum Toc and Ret levels only (20,22,24,26,34).…”

“…An inverse correlation between plasma α-Toc and mortality from ischemic heart diseases (17), and a role of γ-Toc as a marker of atherosclerosis (18), have been reported. In hyperlipidemia, elevated vitamin E concentration is found in the serum (19), and the ratio of Toc to lipid in serum has been proposed as an index of vitamin E status (20)(21)(22).…”

Objective: The present study examined the levels of serum α-Tocopherol (Toc), retinol (Ret), cholesterol (Chol) and triglycerides (TG), and their correlations in the sera of people in Nepal.Methods: The survey was conducted on the general populace in the agricultural Terai region in southern Nepal. The study population consisted of 93 males and 83 females aged 10-68 years. Serum Toc and Ret were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography.Results: No significant differences were observed between the genders for the average of total Chol (T-Chol) (140 and 145 mg/100 ml, respectively), HDL-C (45 and 47 mg/100 ml), LDL-C (94 and 97 mg/ 100 ml), and TG (106 and 110 mg/100 ml), and the ratio of LDL/HDL (2.16). The levels of mean Toc (4.32 and 4.27 μg/ml) were about the same for both genders, while the mean Ret levels were significantly higher for males (624 ng/ml) than for females (535 ng/ml) (p<0.001). A direct relationship was found between the levels of Toc and Ret (r=0.46, p<0.001 and r=0.28, p<0.05 for males and females, respectively). Serum levels of Toc and Ret were positively related to the levels of Chol (r=0.48 and r=0.58, p<0.001 for males and r=0.49, p<0.001 and r=0.33, p<0.01 for females, respectively) and TG (r=0.23 and r=0.28, p<0.05 for males and r=0.29, p<0.01 and r=0.28, p<0.05 for females, respectively). The ratio of Toc/TG normalized to serum TG was directly correlated to the ratio of Ret/TG (r=0.79 for males, and r=0.72 for females, p<0.001, respectively) and the ratios of Toc/TG and Ret/TG were negatively related to the LDL/HDL levels (r=−0.49 and r=−0.43, for males, and r=−0.46 and r=−0.57 for females, p<0.001, respectively).Conclusion: The levels of Toc and Ret were low in the sera of people living in the southern rural Terai region in Nepal, and it was found that lower levels of Toc and Ret normalized to TG increased the ratio of LDL/HDL. These results suggest that greater intake of foods rich in Toc and Ret should be encouraged to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

“…There is also evidence of increased retinol and decreased /3-carotene in the plasma of otherwise healthy heavy drinkers, despite adequate dietary intakes (39,40). We reported previously a negative association between carotenoids and rectal cancer risk and a somewhat positive one with retinol (J. Freudenheim and co-workers, manuscript under submission).…”

The lifetime intake of total alcohol, beer, wine, and hard liquor was measured for 277 males and 145 females with pathologically confirmed, first, single, primary cancers of the rectum in western New York from 1978 to 1986. Controls who were age, sex, and neighborhood matched were also interviewed. Intake of beer and total alcohol was positively associated with rectal cancer risk. Most of the excess risk was found for the heaviest drinkers. Odds ratios for fourth quartile intakes for males were 1.80 (95% CI, 1.12, 2.89) for total alcohol and 1.86 (1.13, 3.06) for beer. No association was found with wine or hard liquor intake. Females drank considerably less in this population; trends were similar although not of as great magnitude as those for males. Adjustment for dietary risk factors did not change risk estimates appreciably. A high lifetime intake of beer and total alcohol was associated with an increased risk of rectal cancer, and this was independent of either socioeconomic status or diet.
