Simplified Approaches for Estimating Vitamin A Stores and β-carotene Bioconversion in Humans
Georg Lietz · European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety · 2015
Objectives: Better methods are needed to assess vitamin A (VA) status and the efficiency of bioconversion of β-carotene (BC) to retinol (ROH). Methods: Data on plasma ROH kinetics from 2 h to 14 d after an oral tracer dose of [13C10]BC and [13C10]retinyl acetate (RAc) to 33 hea...
