metadata.value: Vitamins A and E are known as nutrients involved in metabolic processes and facilitating
  the adaptation of animals. The metabolism of these vitamins is closely
  related to lipid metabolism, which has seasonal variations in animals inhabiting
  northern latitudes. The aim of this study was to investigate the concentrations
  of retinol (vitamin A) and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) in the cold season (October
  to February) in tissues of Canidae species that have different ecological characteristics:
  the blue fox (Vulpes syn. Alopex lagopus), silver fox (Vulpes vulpes), their
  interspecific hybrids (Vulpes×Vulpes), raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides),
  and grey wolf (Canis lupus). In addition, age-related differences in the levels
  of these vitamins were determined. Results showed the distribution of retinol
  and α-tocopherol in the body of the canids was similar, with larger amounts
  being found in the liver and kidney cortex, which play a regulatory role in the
  metabolism of these nutrients. The higher retinol level in the liver of wolves and
  interspecific hybrids of blue fox and silver fox, as compared to the retinol level
  in the liver of other species, might be species-specific and could also be attributed
  to dietary differences. The blue fox and raccoon dog both have a higher
  capacity for α-tocopherol accumulation in the cold season, apparently due to
  their ability to store substantial fat reserves. Retinol and α-tocopherol levels
  were generally higher in the tissues of mature animals.
