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.

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

High resolution crystal structure data of human plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP4) bound to retinol and fatty acids

Data in Brief, 2018
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 ...

Assessment of Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
Introduction: Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) may be indirectly involved in the induction of carcinogenesis as it was identified as a key regulator of insulin resistance in obesity and diabetes.

Retinol binding protein 4 primes the NLRP3 inflammasome by signaling through Toll-like receptors 2 and 4

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance There is a growing need for insulin-sensitizing therapies to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D). In obese T2D humans, NLRP3 inflammasome activation contributes to insulin resistance.

Retinol-Binding Protein-4—A Predictor of Insulin Resistance and the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

Biology, 2021
Simple Summary Cytokines are cell-signaling molecules that cause cells to migrate to inflammation, infection, or trauma sites. An imbalance of cytokines in the body can result in severe illness.

The retina visual cycle is driven by cis retinol oxidation in the outer segments of cones [PDF]

, 2017
Vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptors require continuous supply of chromophore for regenerating their visual pigments after photoactivation. Cones, which mediate our daytime vision, demand a particularly rapid supply of 11-cis retinal chromophore in ...

A rapid versatile microassay for cellular retinol-binding protein using Lipidex-1000 microcolumns.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
A new, rapid and versatile microassay for cellular retinol-binding protein has been developed based on separation of bound and free ligand by means of Lipidex-1000, a hydrophobic Sephadex derivative.
