Metabolic interactions between vitamin A and conjugated linoleic acid [PDF]
, 2014 Lipid-soluble molecules share several aspects of their physiology due to their common adaptations to a hydrophilic environment, and may interact to regulate their action in a tissue-specific manner.

Hydrophobic Ligand Binding by Zn-α_2-glycoprotein, a Soluble Fat-depleting Factor Related to Major Histocompatibility Complex Proteins [PDF]
, 2001 Zn-alpha2-glycoprotein (ZAG) is a member of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I family of proteins and is identical in amino acid sequence to a tumor-derived lipid-mobilizing factor associated with cachexia in cancer patients.

Liver takes up retinol-binding protein from plasma.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1987 Retinol is transported in plasma bound to a specific transport protein, retinol-binding protein. We prepared 125I-tyramine cellobiose-labeled rat retinol-binding protein and studied its tissue uptake 1, 5, and 24 h after intravenous injection into rats. The liver was the organ containing most radioactivity at all time points studied.

Protein polymorphism of a human plasma apolipoprotein D antigenic epitope.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1989 Based on our previous observation that monoclonal antibody anti-apoD-4E11 reacted with several HDL proteins we studied them further with three questions in mind: i) is there common protein polymorphism in healthy individuals?

Vitamin A Status of Women and Children in Yaoundé and Douala, Cameroon, is Unchanged One Year after Initiation of a National Vitamin A Oil Fortification Program. [PDF]
, 2017 Vitamin A (VA) fortification of cooking oil is considered a cost-effective strategy for increasing VA status, but few large-scale programs have been evaluated. We conducted representative surveys in Yaoundé and Douala, Cameroon, 2 years before and 1 year

Ultrastructural localization of plasma retinol-binding protein in rat liver
Journal of Lipid Research, 1990 Immunocytochemical studies were carried out to examine the subcellular localization of plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP) in rat liver. The studies used normal, retinol-deficient, and retinol-repleted retinol-deficient rats with or without colchicine pretreatment. Affinity-purified monomeric Fab' fragments from the IgG fraction of rabbit anti-rat RBP

Proteomic analysis of plasma from children with sickle cell anemia and silent cerebral infarction
Haematologica, 2018 Silent cerebral infarction is the most common neurological abnormality in children with sickle cell anemia, affecting 30-40% of 14 year olds. There are no known biomarkers to identify children with silent cerebral infarcts, and the pathological basis is ...

Maternal plasma retinol binding protein 4 in acute pyelonephritis during pregnancy [PDF]
Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2010 Adipokines have been implicated in metabolic regulation and the immune response thus providing a molecular mechanism for the interaction between these two systems. Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a novel adipokine that plays a role in the pathophysiology of obesity-induced insulin resistance, as well as in the modulation of inflammation. The aim of
