Comparative absorption and transport of various carotenoids in the preruminant calf

These studies utilized the preruminant calf animal model to compare the absorption, serum appearance and lipoprotein transport of several carotenoids commonly found in the human diet. In addition, this work examined the effect of fat level in meals on the absorption of β-carotene. The preruminant calf has been shown in previous studies to be an excellent model for human carotenoid absorption and metabolism.
