  • Title: Occurrence and conversion of anhydrolutein into dehydroretinol in a freshwater fish.
    Author: Barua AB, Das RC.
    Journal: Br J Nutr; 1975 May; 33(3):319-27. PubMed ID: 1125165.
    Abstract:
    1. Lutein and anhydrolutein have been isolated from liver oils of freshly caught Saccobranchus fossilis. 2. S. fossilis initially contained more dehydroretinol than retinol; administration of anhydrolutein to the vitamin A-depleted fish resulted in the accumulation of dehydroretinol. 3. Anhydrolutein has also been isolated from the liver oils of lutein-treated, vitamin A-depleted fish. 4. The pathway of the conversion of lutein into dehydroretinol is discussed.
