Plasma carotenoids are inversely correlated with granulocyte counts and soluble inflammatory markers in a middle-aged population: a cross-sectional study with mediation analysis

Plasma carotenoids are inversely correlated with granulocyte counts and soluble inflammatory markers in a middle-aged population: a cross-sectional study with mediation analysis

Abstract Background High intake of fruits and vegetables is generally associated with reduced levels of inflammation. In line with this, plasma levels of carotenoids have shown inverse associations with inflammatory markers, in particular C-reactive protein (CRP) and leukocyte counts. However, it re...
