Table 7. Astaxanthin absorption percentage and distribution.

Group	Asta absorption (%)	Liver (μg/g)	Eye (μg/g)	Fecal (μg/g)
Normal	ND	ND	9.09 ± 3.57^bc	ND
Control	ND	ND	6.30 ± 3.35 ^c	ND
1.6FFAP	78.91	0.97 ± 0.01 ^b	10.59 ± 3.82^bc	303.67 ± 8.37 ^b
3.2FFAP	86.56	1.06 ± 0.04 ^ab	13.00 ± 3.70 ^ab	412.50 ± 155.61 ^ab
8.0FFAP	86.03	1.26 ± 0.24 ^a	17.21 ± 3.53 ^a	564.82 ± 78.59 ^a

All data was tested using Duncan’s multiple range tests, where significance between groups (p<0.05) is denoted by dissimilar lowercase letters. Normal: Normal diet; Control: Normal diet + 0.2% cholesterol; 1.6FFAP: control diet + 1.6%FFAP; 3.2FFAP: control diet + 3.2% FFAP; 8.0FFAP: control diet + 8.0%FFAP.
