Bakuchiol: From structural mimicry to systems‐level skin biology

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Convergent outcomes, divergent mechanisms: bakuchiol vs. retinol. Bakuchiol exhibits functional convergence with retinol in improving extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal differentiation and barrier function, while operating through distinct mechanisms.

Physicochemical Quality and Chemical Safety of Commercial Wet Cat Food: Composition, Oxidation, Biogenic Amines, and Trace Elements

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics and chemical safety of commercial wet cat foods marketed in Brazil. Twenty products labeled as beef, chicken and fish flavors were analyzed for proximate composition, pH, lipid and protein oxidation, biogenic amines, and essential and potentially toxic trace elements.

CryoEM structure and small-angle X-ray scattering analyses of porcine retinol-binding protein 3

Open Biology
The vertebrate visual cycle hinges on enzymatically converting all-trans-retinol (at-ROL) into 11-cis-retinal (11c-RAL), the chromophore that binds to opsins in photoreceptors, forming light-responsive pigments.

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

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
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 ...

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

Mechanisms of provitamin A (carotenoid) and vitamin A (retinol) transport into and out of intestinal Caco-2 cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanisms of intestinal retinol (ROL) and carotenoid transport. When differentiated Caco-2 cells were incubated with ROL for varying times, cellular ROL plateaued within 2 h, whereas retinyl ester (RE ...

Regulation by FSH of the dynamic expression of retinol-binding protein 4 in the mouse ovary

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2018
Background Ovarian retinoid homeostasis plays an important role in the physiological function of the ovary. Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) acts as the mediator for the systemic and intercellular transport of retinol and is heavily involved in cellular ...

Platelet‐Rich Fibrins as Local Drug‐Delivery Carriers

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), particularly platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), act as biologically active fibrin scaffolds, capable of entrapping and gradually releasing therapeutic agents in oral and periodontal therapy. The incorporation of bioactive compounds, such as antibiotics, antifungals, vitamins, antidiabetic drugs, and exosomes, enhances ...
