On a vitamin A-sufficient background, dosed α-vitamin A was detected in rat VFM in both ester and alcohol forms, showing that, in addition to plasma retinol and local stellate cell stores, VFM can access and process postprandial retinyl esters from circulating chylomicra. Both α forms were rapidly depleted, confirming the high metabolic demand for vitamin A within VFM. Conclusion This thorough physiological analysis validates VFM as an extrahepatic vitamin A repository and characterizes its unique uptake, storage, and utilization phe
