<i>scyllo</i>-Inositol is positively correlated with lutein concentrations in infant frontal cortex, hippocampus, and occipital cortex.

<p>Post-mortem infant brain tissues (age 1 to 488 days) from the frontal cortex, hippocampus, and occipital cortex were analyzed for both lutein and <i>scyllo</i>-inositol. Results are shown as <i>scyllo</i>-inositol (scaled intensity) by lutein concentration (pmol/g). Positive correlations between <i>scyllo</i>-inositol and lutein were observed in the (A) frontal cortex (n = 29), (B) hippocampus (n = 24), or (C) occipital cortex (n = 28). <i>scyllo</i>-Inositol:lutein correlations with r values ≥ |0.45| and P < 0.05 are reported. FC: frontal cortex; HPC: hippocampus; OC: occipital cortex.
