Abstract
Rats and chicks were fed oil soluble mixtures of all- trans and 9- cis β-carotene. Based on the level of total liver carotene and its isomeric composition, a preferential accumulation of all- trans β-carotene was observed in rats, while in chicks the 9- cis isomer was more effectively stored. This species related difference is probably due to the intestinal absorption characteristics of the two animals.
