Metabolism of dehydroretinyl ester in White Leghorn chicks.
1. The metabolism of dehydroretinyl ester has been studied in vitamin-A-deficient white leghorn chicks. Dehydroretinyl ester was metabolized to 3-hydroxyretinol diester, 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol and rehydrovitamin A2 which were isolated from the intestines and livers of chicks. 2. The metabolism of 3-hydroxyretinol diester and 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol, which were immediate metabolites of dehydroretinol, was studied in chicks. 3. Retinol was not detected in these experiments.

Metabolism of cryptoxanthin in freshwater fish.
In search of other provitamins A, the metabolism of cryptoxanthin was studied in several species of freshwater fish, i.e. Channa gachua, Labeo boga (retinol-rich) and Heteropneustes fossilis (dehydroretinol-rich). The fish were either allowed to starve for 20-25 d to make their intestines free from carotenoids and vitamin A or kept on a vitamin-A-deficient diet for 140-150 d to deplete the initial reserve of vitamin A in the livers. Retinol-rich freshwater fish such as C. gachua and L. boga converted cryptoxanthin into retinol and no 3-dehydroretinol or 3-hydroxyretinol could be isolated from those fish that received cryptoxanthin. 3-Hydroxyretinol and 3-dehydroretinol were isolated from the vitamin-A-deficient H. fossilis, a 3-dehydroretinol-rich freshwater siluroid, after the administration of cryptoxanthin.
