The contents of retinol and retinyl esters as well as retinol-binding protein (RBP) in the plasma, urine, liver and kidneys of dogs, raccoon dogs and silver foxes were investigated. In the plasma and urine of all three species, vitamin A was present as retinol and retinyl esters. Vitamin A levels (1376+/-669 microg x g(-1)) were significantly higher in the livers of dogs than in the kidneys (200+/-217 microg x g(-1), P &lt; 0.001 ). However, vitamin A levels in the kidneys of raccoon dogs (291+/-146 microg x g(-1)) and silver foxes (474+/-200 microg x g(-1)) were significantly higher than in the liver (67+/-58 microg x g(-1) and 4.3+/-2.4 microg x g(-1), respectively, both P &lt; 0.001). RBP was immunologically detected in the blood plasma of all species, but never in the urine. In the liver, immunoreactive RBP was found in hepatocytes. In the kidneys of all species, RBP was observed in the cells of the proximal convoluted tubules. The levels of vitamin A in the livers of raccoon dogs and silver foxes were extremely low, which would be interpreted as a sign of great deficiency in humans. This observation might indicate that the liver status cannot be used as an indicator of vitamin A deficiency in canines. The high levels of vitamin A in the kidneys in all three species may indicate a specific function of the kidney in the vitamin A metabolism of canines.
