Minoru Sugiura,Mieko Nakamura,Kazunori Ogawa,Yoshinori Ikoma,Fujiko Ando,Hiroshi Shimokata,Masamichi Yano +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest the combination of vitamin C and β-cryptoxanthin intakes might provide benefit to bone health in post-menopausal Japanese female subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral density in post-menopausal female subjects is associated with serum antioxidant carotenoids
TL;DR: The findings suggest that β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene might provide benefits to bone health in post-menopausal female subjects, andAntioxidant carotenoids, especially β- cryptoxanth in particular, significantly but partly associate with the radial BMD in post -menopausalFemale subjects.
Journal Article
Body mass index and risk of diabetes mellitus in the Asia-Pacific region.
TL;DR: Evidence of a strong continuous association between body mass index and diabetes in the Asia Pacific region is provided and considerable potential for reduction in incidence of diabetes with population-wide lowering of body massIndex in this region is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Serum Carotenoids Associated with Lower Risk for Bone Loss and Osteoporosis in Post-Menopausal Japanese Female Subjects: Prospective Cohort Study
TL;DR: Antioxidant carotenoids, especially β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene, are inversely associated with the change of radial BMD in post-menopausal female subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minoru Sugiura,Mieko Nakamura,Yoshinori Ikoma,Masamichi Yano,Kazunori Ogawa,Hikaru Matsumoto,Masaya Kato,Makoto Ohshima,Akihiko Nagao +8 more
TL;DR: The serum antioxidant carotenoids were inversely associated with HOMA-estimated insulin resistance in non-diabetic subjects, and in male subjects, an inverse association with the serum β-cryptoxanthin concentrations.
