RAE, retinol activity equivalent.

Data are presented as mean (standard deviation).

P values were calculated using linear regression analysis.

The level of statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.

*

1 μg RAE = retinol (μg) + β-carotene (μg) × 1/12 + α-carotene (μg) × 1/24 + β-cryptoxanthin (μg) × 1/24 + other provitamin A carotenoids (μg) × 1/24.
