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).

Blue light regenerates functional visual pigments in mammals through a retinyl-phospholipid intermediate. [PDF]

, 2017
The light absorbing chromophore in opsin visual pigments is the protonated Schiff base of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (11cRAL). Absorption of a photon isomerizes 11cRAL to all-trans-retinaldehyde (atRAL), briefly activating the pigment before it dissociates ...

Chylomicron remnant-vitamin A metabolism by the human hepatoma cell line HepG2.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
The binding and metabolism of [3H]vitamin A-containing chylomicron (CM) remnants by the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 were studied. Mesenteric lymph chylomicrons were collected from [3H]retinol-fed rats and incubated with lipoprotein lipase to obtain CM

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 ...

Pre‐diagnostic immunological markers of bacterial translocation and liver cancer risk: A nested case–control analysis of 12 prospective cohorts

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Disruption of the gut–liver axis has been suggested to play an important role in liver carcinogenesis. However, limited prospective research has explored associations between potentially harmful gut‐derived bacterial products and liver cancer risk.

Bacterially Expressed Rat Retinol-binding Protein is Functional for Retinol and Transthyretin Bindings.

Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 1996
Retinol-binding protein (RBP) was expressed in Escherichia coli using the cDNA for rat RBP, and characterized. The expressed RBP was fused to maltose-binding protein (MBP) at the N-terminal end (MBP-RBP), and MBP was enzymatically removed from the MBP-RBP with proteinase factor Xa.
