All-Purpose Containers? Lipid-Binding Protein - Drug Interactions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The combined use of in vitro (19F-NMR) and in silico (molecular docking) procedures demonstrates the affinity of a number of human calycins (lipid-binding proteins from ileum, liver, heart, adipose tissue and epidermis, and retinol-binding protein from ...

Effects of acute inflammation on plasma retinol, retinol-binding protein, and its mRNA in the liver and kidneys of vitamin A-sufficient rats

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The acute inflammatory response to tissue injury and infection is associated with low concentrations of plasma retinol and its specific transport proteins, retinol-binding protein (RBP) and transthyretin (TTR).

Effect of Dietary Vitamin A, Breed, and Kidney Function on the Onset of Urinary Vitamin A Excretion and the Vitamin A Transport Complex in Growing Dogs. [PDF]

J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr (Berl)
ABSTRACT Vitamin A (retinol and retinyl esters) is present in substantial amounts in the urine of healthy adult dogs, but the mechanisms affecting its excretion are poorly understood. To assess whether the onset of urinary vitamin A excretion is dependent on dietary vitamin A intake, breed, and/or parameters of kidney function, 48 puppies from two ...

Vitamins and Chronic Wounds: How Altered Pharmacokinetics and Comorbidities Contribute to Vitamin Deficiencies. [PDF]

Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol
ABSTRACT Wound healing is complex and requires adequate amounts of macro‐ and micronutrients. When wound healing is delayed, a wound is considered chronic. Increasing evidence shows that vitamin deficiencies are prevalent in patients with chronic wounds, yet intervention studies with vitamin supplementation yielded inconsistent effects.

Structural and binding properties of two paralogous fatty acid binding proteins of Taenia solium metacestode.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
BackgroundFatty acid (FA) binding proteins (FABPs) of helminths are implicated in acquisition and utilization of host-derived hydrophobic substances, as well as in signaling and cellular interactions. We previously demonstrated that secretory hydrophobic

Loss of Retinol-Binding Properties for Plasma Retinol-Binding Protein in Normal Human Epidermis

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1987
Terminal differentiation of the keratinocytes (cornification) has been linked to a restricted supply of retinol. Retinol is distributed to target cells by the retinol-binding protein (RBP), which circulates in the plasma in complex with transthyretin (TTR).

Retinol and vitamin A metabolites accumulate through RBP4 and STRA6 changes in a psoriasis murine model

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2020
Background Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that features the abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes. This proliferation could partly result from disturbances in vitamin A metabolism. Changes in psoriasis patients of the levels of

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.
