Opis

Vitamin A-storing cells in the liver exist in the space between parenchymal cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells of the hepatic lobule, and store 50-80 per cent of vitamin A in the whole body as retinyl palmitate in lipid droplets in the cytoplasm. This book discusses and presents research on vitamin A-storing cells.
