We examined the distribution of beta-carotene in plasma lipoprotein fractions. In healthy children and adults, LDL contained more beta-carotene than did HDL, but in cord blood more beta-carotene was found in HDL than in LDL. After the oral administration of beta-carotene, its plasma level rose although its distribution in the individual lipoprotein fractions did not change. Among disease conditions associated with hyperlipidemia, the ratio of beta-carotene to plasma lipids was highest in anorexia nervosa, while nephrotic syndrome and diabetes mellitus had similar ratios to each other.
