[Carotinaemia in patient with excessive beta-carotene food-intake and dysregulated diabetes mellitus].
A case of carotinaemia in a patient with excessive beta-carotene food-intake, diabetes mellitus and physiological amenorrhea is reported. The patient developed yellow discolouration in the palms and the soles of her feet. Blood samples showed a significantly increased lever of serum beta-carotene, but normal vitamine A value and liver enzymes. The patient reported an excessive intake of carrots (approximately 1 kg per day). The status of physiological amenorrhoea and dysregulated diabetes mellitus may have deteriorated the yellow discolouration of the skin.

Nutritional intakes and status of highly trained amenorrheic and eumenorrheic women runners.
This study was conducted to determine whether nutritional status contributes to the amenorrhea associated with long distance running. Dietary intakes and biochemical measures of nutritional status were compared in highly trained amenorrheic (AM) and eumenorrheic (EU) women runners matched for height, weight, percent fat (11% to 12%) and training distance (113 km/week). Serum estradiol (E2) (EU, 104.7 pg/ml, versus AM, 22.5 pg/ml) and cortisol (EU, 22.4 micrograms/dl, versus AM, 26.6 micrograms/dl) concentrations differed between the two groups. Three-day dietary records revealed that fat intake by AM runners was significantly lower than by EU runners (EU, 97 gm/day, versus AM, 66 gm/day). AM runners consumed large amounts of vitamin A activity, probably in the form of B-carotene, and fairly high quantities of crude fiber. Zinc intake by AM runners was well below the recommended dietary allowances (RDA), compared with EU runners (EU, 15.4 mg, versus AM, 10.9 mg). Further, plasma zinc tended to be lower for the AM runners (EU, 85.7 micrograms/dl, versus AM, 81.2 micrograms/dl). It was concluded that the potential contributions of dietary fat, B-carotene, and zinc to inducing changes in menstrual function and the metabolism of certain hormones should be investigated.
