Low and high responders to pharmacological doses of β-carotene: proportion in the population, mechanisms involved and consequences on β-carotene metabolism

The aim of this study was to assess the interindividual variability of chylomicron β-carotene response to a pharmacological load of β-carotene in the population, to identify the mechanisms responsible for this variability, and to evaluate its consequences on β-carotene status and metabolism. The var...
