Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST PPR0xyT6. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The adipose tissue carotenoid (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, and lycopene) and retinol levels and their predictors were determined in 686 male and 339 female middle-aged and elderly subjects from eight European countries and Israel during the years 1991 to 1992.
