Intestinal absorption and metabolism of 9-cis-beta-carotene in vivo: biosynthesis of 9-cis-retinoic acid.
This study was done to examine the intestinal absorption and cleavage of 9-cis-beta-carotene in vivo. A micellar solution, containing either no addition or 10 mumol of 9-cis- or all-trans-beta-carotene, was perfused for 2 h through the upper portion of the small intestine of ferrets. The effluent of...
