The response of various muscle types to a restriction–re-alimentation feeding strategy in growing pigs

Animal, 2007
Muscle lipid concentration is known to influence pork eating quality. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of a restriction–re-alimentation feeding strategy on intramuscular fat deposition in pigs. A total of 70 Duroc × (Large White × Landrace) pigs

Vitamin A combined with retinoic acid increases retinol uptake and lung retinyl ester formation in a synergistic manner in neonatal rats

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Vitamin A (VA) is stored in tissues predominantly as retinyl esters (REs), which provide substrate for the production of bioactive retinoids. Retinoic acid (RA), a principal metabolite, has been shown to induce postnatal lung development.

Research progress on rheumatoid arthritis-associated depression

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
Depression is an independent mood disorder and one of the most common comorbidities of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Growing evidence suggests that there is two-way regulation between RA and depression, resulting in a vicious cycle of RA, depression, poor ...

Acidic retinoids synergize with vitamin A to enhance retinol uptake and STRA6, LRAT, and CYP26B1 expression in neonatal lung

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Vitamin A (VA) is essential for fetal lung development and postnatal lung maturation. VA is stored mainly as retinyl esters (REs), which may be mobilized for production of retinoic acid (RA).

A Case of Corneal Melt and Perforation Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis Managed by Corneal Patch Graft [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Corneal melt is a rare yet severe complication of Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis (PUK), observed in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The mortality rate associated with corneal melt is high, warranting aggressive treatment.
