The present work examined the relationship between carotenoids in the macula, diet, and serum, and their relationship with hippocampal-dependent relational memory performance. Given previous literature indicating that lutein disproportionately accumulates in neural tissue, including the hippocampus, we anticipated that serum and macular lutein concentrations, in particular, would be related to relational memory. Herein, the results indicated that higher serum, but not macular, lutein concentrations were positively associated with greater relational memory performance on a spatial reconstruction task. Although dietary lutein + zeaxanthin and both dietary and serum beta-carotene were correlated with performance, these relationships did not persist after covariate adjustment. Taken together, these findings provide additional evidence that serum carotenoid status may impact memory performance among adults who are overweight or obese.

本研究考察了黃斑、飲食和血清中的類胡蘿蔔素之間的關係，以及它們與海馬依賴關係記憶性能的關係。鑒於以前的文獻表明葉黃素在神經組織中（包括海馬區）中積累過多，我們預計血清和黃斑葉黃素濃度，特別是與關係記憶有關。結果表明，較高的血清，但不是黃斑，葉黃素濃度與空間重建任務中更高的關係記憶性能呈正相關。雖然膳食葉黃素 + 玉米黃素和膳食和血清β-胡蘿蔔素都與性能相關，但這些關係在協變數調整後沒有持續。綜合起來，這些發現提供了額外的證據，血清類胡蘿蔔素狀態可能會影響超重或肥胖的成年人的記憶表現。

本研究探討了黃斑、飲食、血清中類胡蘿蔔素與海馬依賴性關係記憶的關係。鑒於之前的文獻表明，黃體素在包括海馬體在內的神經組織中不成比例地積聚，我們預計血清和黃斑部的黃體素濃度，特別是，將與關係記憶有關。在這裡，結果表明，在空間重建任務中，較高的血清（而不是黃斑部）葉黃素濃度與較高的關係記憶表現呈正相關。儘管日糧葉黃素+玉米黃質、日糧和血清β-胡蘿蔔素均與生產效能相關，但在協變數調整後，這些關係並未持續。綜上所述，這些發現提供了額外的證據，證明血清類胡蘿蔔素狀態可能影響超重或肥胖成年人的記憶能力。
