As retinol activity equivalents (RAEs). 1 RAE = 1 Î¼g retinol, 12 g Î²-carotene, 24 Î±-carotene, or 24 -cryptoxanthin. The RAE for dietary provitamin A carote noids is two-fold greater than retinol equivalents. (RE), whereas the RAE for preformed vitamin A is the same as RE.
The city of Akita is located in the coastal plains of central Akita Prefecture, bordered by the Sea of Japan to the west.ue to its location near the Sea of Japan coast, it receives heavy snowfall, with just above 377 centimetres (148 in) per season, with accumulation occurring mostly from December to March. Precipitation is well-distributed and significant throughout the year, but is greater in the latter half.
Predecessors of the modern Akita were used for hunting bear, wild boar and deer in Japan as late as 1957. They would be used to flush out the bear and keep it at bay until the hunter could come and kill it. Today, the breed is used primarily as a companion dog.or a while, the American strain of Akita was known in some countries as the Great Japanese Dog. Both forms of Akita are probably best known worldwide from the true story of HachikÅ, a loyal Akita who lived in Japan before World War II.
