In order to study some of the effects of a low carotene ration on ewes and their lambs, a group of ewes was fed the following ration for two successive winters: oat straw, oats, soybean oil meal, and CaCO3. A control group was fed alfalfa hay and oats. During the second season, ...
Relationship of vitamin A and vitamin E intake to fasting plasma retinol, retinol-binding protein, retinyl esters, carotene, alpha-tocopherol, and cholesterol among elderly people and young adults: increased plasma retinyl esters among vitamin A-supplement users. Am J Clin Nutr. 1989;49(1):112–...

The level of vitamin A in neonatal cord blood is less than 1/2 of that in maternal blood, and the infant has very little retinol reserves at birth (approximately 5 μmol) [15]. Breast milk is the only source of vitamin A in exclusively breastfed infants until complementary foods are ...
Hemoglobin is usually measured as a part of the routine complete blood count (CBC) test from a blood sample. The hemoglobin level is expressed as the amount of hemoglobin in grams (gm) per deciliter (dL) of whole blood, a deciliter being 100 milliliters. Several methods exist for measuri...
(16.5 ± 0.2 mg/g f. wt.) and lowest in genotype FH-326 (12.9 ± 0.3 mg/g f. wt.) under low moisture stress. Carotene content was maintained in N-8437, N-3496, and N-374. Total carotene content increased while showing the least significant differences between non-stress...

In conclusion, the ability to respond to β-carotene is highly variable, but there is probably a very small proportion of true non-responders to pharmacological doses of β-carotene in the healthy population. This variability is apparently mainly due to interindividual differences in the efficiency...
and compositionally it looks pretty good. What I like about it is that the vitamins and antioxidants that are in there, things like beta carotene, B vitamins, they’re from whole food source. They’re not super physiological levels of this stuff thrown in as an afterthought to just kind...
Moreover, sd-LDL cholesterol particles have a smaller diameter and hence are more likely to penetrate vascular endothelial cells, promote the infiltration and accumulation of endothelial cells, and form a larger core; the sd-LDL sub-fraction contains fewer components of β-carotene, which has ...
