A: total lymphatic zeaxanthin output expressed as μg/h. Zeaxanthin concentrations were measured in lymph 1 h before (fasting) and hourly for 6 h after lutein infusion. The 4 groups of animals studied are the same as in Fig. 1. B: total lymphatic zeaxanthin output over the 6-h lutein infusion period (area under the curve) for the same 4 groups of animals shown in A. Values are means + SE. #40 vs. 10 mg/kg lutein infusion group, P < 0.05.
