| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined the influence of fatty acids on the digestion and absorption of carotenoids. Absorption of Lutein and astaxanthin on small intestinal epithelial cell were influenced by fatty acid composition. On the other hand, fatty acid composition was not involved in regulation of the expression on related to carotenoids absorption factors in small intestine. Therefore, it was suggested that fatty acids affect to stabilization of micelles or release of carotenoids from micelles in the intestinal tract.
