In vivo biosynthesis of retinoic acid from beta-carotene involves and excentric cleavage pathway in ferret intestine
This study was done to determine whether retinoic acid can be produced by excentric cleavage of beta-carotene in vivo. By using an inhibitor of retinaldehyde oxidation, citral, either retinaldehyde or beta-carotene was incorporated in a micellar solution and perfused through the upper portion of sma...
