✦ Synopsis
Animal wildlife food samples from the Sahtú (Hareskin) Dene/Metis people of Fort Good Hope and Colville Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada. were analyzed for retinol contents. Values for 39 of the 56 foods are reported for the first time; values ranged from 0.0 to (32,000 \mathrm{RE} / 100) (\mathrm{g}), with only 11 foods containing (>20 \mathrm{RE} / 100 \mathrm{~g}) of retinol. A trend towards higher absolute levels of |3-cis retinol and of higher ratios of 13-cis retinol:all-trans retinol was seen in animal and fowl tissues in contrast to fish. All-trans dehydroretinol was found only in fish. ic: 1993 Academic Press. Inc.
