1Shown are subject characteristics for US (US1–7) and Chinese subjects (CH1–6), a subset of the individuals studied by Tang et al. (17) and Wang et al. (18), respectively. Retinol concentrations [ROH] are means based on analysis of the 19 serum samples collected from 3 h to 52 d after administration of [2H8]retinyl acetate, as described in (10). Estimated liver weights were calculated as body surface area × 772 (23).
