Plasma fucoxanthin (FX) and its metabolites as well as β-carotene concentrations before and after interventions with the microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum (PT). Plasma values of FX (A), fucoxanthinol (FXOH) (B), amarouciaxanthin (AxA) (C), and β-carotene (D) before intervention (PTpre) and one and two weeks after intervention (PTpost1, PTpost2) are shown as mean ± SEM from 22 participants. Statistics: # indicate difference to PTpre; * indicate difference between PTpost1 and PTpost2 */# p < 0.5, ## p < 0.01; ### p < 0.001.
