Bioaccumulation of PCB & DDE methyl sulfones in marine mammals and their interactions with receptor proteins [PDF]

, 2000
PCB and DDE-Methyl sulphone metabolites are the product of enzymatic and bile acid entero hepatic metabolism in the final phase (III) of PCB and DDE detoxification in mammals following hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450-dependent metabolism (phase I) and

Interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein as the physiologically relevant carrier of 11-cis-retinol in the cone visual cycle [PDF]

, 2011
Cones function in constant light and are responsible for mediating daytime human vision. Like rods, cones utilize the photo-sensitive molecule 11-cis retinal to detect light, and in constant illumination, a continuous supply of 11-cis retinal is needed ...

Retinoid isomerase inhibitors impair but do not block mammalian cone photoreceptor function [PDF]

, 2018
Visual function in vertebrates critically depends on the continuous regeneration of visual pigments in rod and cone photoreceptors. RPE65 is a well-established retinoid isomerase in the pigment epithelium that regenerates rhodopsin during the rod visual ...

The STRA6 Receptor Is Essential for Retinol-binding Protein-induced Insulin Resistance but Not for Maintaining Vitamin A Homeostasis in Tissues Other Than the Eye*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Background: STRA6 transports retinol into cells and activates cell signaling. Results: Ablation of Stra6 does not impair vitamin A homeostasis in tissues other than the eye but protects mice against RBP-induced insulin resistance.

Associations between Nugent‐bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes in rural northwestern Bangladesh

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Bacterial vaginosis, defined by Nugent score (Nugent‐BV), has been associated with preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, few studies have longitudinally described the associations between Nugent‐BV and adverse pregnancy outcomes at varying times in pregnancy.

Pulse of inflammatory proteins in the pregnant uterus of European polecats (Mustela putorius) leading to the time of implantation [PDF]

, 2017
Uterine secretory proteins protect the uterus and conceptuses against infection, facilitate implantation, control cellular damage resulting from implantation, and supply pre-implantation embryos with nutrients.

Consumption of Selected Healthy and Unhealthy Food Groups and Associations With Nutritional Status Among Children 2-5 Years of Age in Northern Ghana. [PDF]

Matern Child Nutr
ABSTRACT Poor diet quality may contribute to the multiple forms of malnutrition among children in Ghana. This cross‐sectional study (1) described the prevalence and frequency of consumption of fruits, vegetables, sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSB), salty snacks and sweet snacks among children 2–5 years in northern Ghana; (2) identified factors associated ...

Oocytes recovered from cows treated with retinol become unviable as blastocysts produced in vitro [PDF]

, 2011
Retinoids have been shown to enhance developmental competence of the oocyte in cattle, sheep and pigs. In this study we investigated whether exogenous retinol stimulates the bovine oocyte during its intrafollicular growth and the time limits of exposure ...
