Figure 1.

Tissue distribution of tritium-labeled phytol in rats. Biodistribution was estimated as relative counts per minute per gram of tissue. A large fraction of phytol remained as a depot in the injection site (> 90%, not shown). Besides that, the inguinal lymph nodes were the primary tissue for accumulation of phytol. The distribution of phytol to the inguinal lymph nodes showed the highest accumulation > 1 week after injection and showed a reduction after 2 weeks. Values are means from groups of four animals.
