Results showed that the mean (±SD) area under the curve for the total serum response to [2H]retinol was 39.9 ± 20.7 µg·d after the Golden Rice dose. Compared with that of the [13C10]retinyl acetate reference dose (84.7 ± 34.6 µg·d), Golden Rice ?-carotene provided 0.24-0.94 mg retinol. Thus, the conversion factor of Golden Rice ?-carotene to retinol is 3.8 ± 1.7 to 1 with a range of 1.9-6.4 to 1 by weight, or 2.0 ± 0.9 to 1 with a range of 1.0-3.4 to by moles. [Tang and Friends, 2009].
Tang’s research conclude that the Golden rice is effectively converted to vitamin A in humans. Golden Rice is a genetically modified plant developed to contain more beta-carotene in the grains, seen as a viable method of alleviating vitamin-A deficiency particularly in developing countries. In its current form, Golden Rice contains 35 micrograms of beta-carotene per gram.
Hmm, i see this golden rice is good and would dive deeper into your pocket. Just like the other goldy thing, huh?
