Liver and plasma retinol (vitamin A) in wild, and liver retinol in captive penguins (Spheniscidae)
In rockhopper penguins ( Eudyptes crestatus ), liver concentrations of retinol (vitamin A) were significantly higher in post‐moult than in pre‐moult birds. In Magellanic penguins ( Spheniscus magelianicus ), plasma concentrations of retinol were significantly higher in post‐moult than in pre‐moult b...
