Retinol binding protein 4 restricts PCV2 replication via selective autophagy degradation of viral ORF1 protein

Communications Biology
Autophagy is a highly conserved degradative process that has been linked to various functions, including defending host cells against pathogens. Although the involvement of autophagy in porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) infection has become apparent, it ...

Therapeutic Potential of Berberis vulgaris in Modulating Metabolic Syndrome Biomarkers: Mechanistic Insights and Functional Food Implications

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) has emerged as a promising functional food candidate for the management of metabolic syndrome due to its diverse bioactive constituents, particularly berberine. This review synthesizes current experimental and clinical evidence regarding its effects on glycemic control, lipid metabolism, blood pressure regulation ...

Association of salivary retinol-binding protein 4 levels with periodontal disease in obese and nonobese individuals: A case–control study

Dental Journal
Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory infectious disease influenced by systemic inflammation, with obesity playing a key role in affecting human health and well-being. Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), an adipokine elevated in obesity, is involved

Optic nerve sheath meningioma exhibits neural niche‐associated transcriptomic features and rare copy number variation‐linked evolution

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
Optic nerve sheath meningiomas are typically NF2‐intact with few copy number alterations and are generally clinically indolent. Rare aggressive recurrences are associated with progressive accumulation of copy number variations, including CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion, 1q gain, and 14q loss.

The brown fat-specific overexpression of RBP4 improves thermoregulation and systemic metabolism by activating the canonical adrenergic signaling pathway

Experimental and Molecular Medicine
Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), the sole specific carrier for retinol (vitamin A) in circulation, is highly expressed in liver and adipose tissues. Previous studies have demonstrated that RBP4 plays a role in cold-mediated adipose tissue browning and ...

Retinoic Acid Signalling Regulates Zebrafish Tooth Germ Repair Following Injury

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 7, July 2026.
Retinoic acid signalling may regulate the repair processes in a tooth germ injury model using Tg(scpp5:Dendra2‐NTR) zebrafish and the nitroreductase (NTR)/metronidazole (MTZ) system. ABSTRACT Although the role of retinoic acid (RA) signalling in odontogenesis is well established, its involvement in the repair of injured tooth germs remains unclear.

Virgin Coconut Oil Attenuates Diabetic Kidney Disease via Gut Microbiota‐Metabolism‐Inflammation Axis Modulation in Type 2 Diabetic Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study elucidates the multi‐targeted mechanisms of Virgin Coconut Oil (CO) as a dietary intervention for ameliorating Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). High‐purity medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs, primarily octanoic acid [C8:0] and decanoic acid [C10:0]) in CO significantly remodel the gut microbiota by enriching short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA ...

RBP4: A Culprit for Insulin Resistance in End Stage Renal Disease That Can Be Cleared by Hemodiafiltration [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction. Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) is mainly excreted by the kidney and plays a pivotal role in insulin resistance (IR). In our study, we evaluated the association between RBP4 and IR in hemodialysis subjects (HD).

Serum retinol-binding protein 4 levels in polycystic ovary syndrome

Endocrine Connections, 2019
Objective: Serum levels of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), an adipokine thought to affect systemic insulin sensitivity, were compared between women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-PCOS controls to evaluate the association of RBP4 with ...
