Inflammatory-Driven Vitamin A Transport Dysfunction in Ulcerative Colitis

International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research
Background: Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a vitamin A transport protein synthesized in the liver and also plays a crucial role in inflammation and immune regulation. Low serum vitamin A levels have been observed in both pediatric

Association of retinol-binding protein 4 with metabolic syndrome in first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is known to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. The influences of RBP4 on metabolic syndrome (MS) are still unclear.

High plasma retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is associated with systemic inflammation independently of low RBP4 adipose expression and is normalized by transplantation in nonobese, nondiabetic patients with chronic kidney disease

, 2011
Objective Adipose-secreted retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) circulates in free (active) and transthyretin (TTR)-bound forms and may be associated with obesity-related inflammation. Potential involvement of plasma and adipose RBP4 in systemic inflammation
