Several derivatives incorporating five‐membered aromatic rings are described in this review as bile acid receptor modulators, particularly targeting the farnesoid X receptor and the G protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of patents and literature that is useful to support researchers in the design of new ...

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Uptake and metabolism of retinol (vitamin A) in the isolated perfused rat liver
The isolated perfused liver was employed to study various aspects of retinol-C14 metabolism. The rate of uptake of retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and retinol acetate was rapid (first-order rate constant, k = 0.12–0.16 min−1) during the first 3–10 min ...

Dry Eye Disease: Oxidative Stress on Ocular Surface and Cutting‐Edge Antioxidants
This review has systematically evaluated the oxidative damage of cornea, tear film, lacrimal gland, conjunctiva and meibomian gland for dry eye, and concluded the antioxidants that are either commercially available or in the research phase. GQDs: Graphene quantum dots; LF: lactoferrin; ROS: Reactive oxygen species; SOD: Superoxide dismutase; tFNA ...

Nanosecond spectroscopy of retinol.
Nanosecond fluorescence spectroscopy was used to study the unique binding site of the retinol-binding protein (RBP) from human serum. At pH 7.4, the binding of retinol to RBP caused the following spectroscopic changes in the ligand: (a) an enhancement of the fluorescence decay time (gamma = 8 ns); and (b) an increase in the emission anisotropy (A = 0 ...

Retinol is transported in vertebrate plasma bound to a protein called retinol-binding protein (RBP4) so far believed to be specific for the vitamin. When the protein is saturated with retinol it binds tightly to another plasma protein, transthyretin ...

Diverse Subpopulations of Reactive Astrocytes Following Chronic Toxoplasma Infection
Toxoplasma infection results in distinct astrocyte subpopulations. Chronically labeled reactive astrocytes appear transcriptionally plastic and can regain acute inflammatory responding and naive homeostatic astrocytic gene patterns in the presence of ongoing neuroinflammation.

A multicompartmental model of vitamin A kinetics in rats with marginal liver vitamin A stores.
A linear, first-order, constant-coefficient multicompartmental model is presented which describes the dynamics of [3H]retinol turnover in adult rats with normal plasma retinol concentrations but low liver stores (less than 100 micrograms of retinol ...

Retinol esterification by mammary gland microsomes from the lactating rat.
Because vitamin A in milk is largely present as esterified retinol while blood plasma predominantly contains unesterified retinol, experiments were conducted to determine whether membranes from the lactating mammary gland are able to synthesize retinyl ...
