Retinoid Machinery in Distinct Neural Stem Cell Populations with Different Retinoid Responsiveness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Retinoic acid (RA) is present at sites of neurogenesis in both the embryonic and adult brain. While it is widely accepted that RA signaling is involved in the regulation of neural stem cell differentiation, little is known about vitamin A utilization ...

Colocalization of 11-cis retinyl esters and retinyl ester hydrolase activity in retinal pigment epithelium plasma membrane.

open access: yesInvestigative ophthalmology & visual science, 1998
To identify the subcellular locale of 11-cis retinyl esters in bovine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and to characterize the enzymic mechanism responsible for liberation of 11-cis retinoids in this compartment.Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- enriched and plasma membrane (PM)-enriched protein fractions were prepared from bovine RPE microsomes using ...

Accumulation of retinol in the liver after prolonged hyporetinolemia in the vitamin A-sufficient rat

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
We assessed the effects of prolonged reduction of plasma retinol concentrations (hyporetinolemia) on the distribution of tissue vitamin A (VA) and of its active compounds using a model of continuous recombinant human interleukin-6 (rhIL-6) infusion via ...

Host-guest molecular interactions in vanillin/Hylon VII inclusion complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The interaction of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin) and Hylon VII due to the formation of an inclusion complex is studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and circular dichroism (CD)

Intestinal DGAT1 deficiency reduces postprandial triglyceride and retinyl ester excursions by inhibiting chylomicron secretion and delaying gastric emptying

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
Acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) 1 catalyzes the final step of triglyceride (TG) synthesis. We show that acute administration of a DGAT1 inhibitor (DGAT1i) by oral gavage or genetic deletion of intestinal Dgat1 (intestine-Dgat1−/−) markedly

Vitamin A combined with retinoic acid increases retinol uptake and lung retinyl ester formation in a synergistic manner in neonatal rats

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Vitamin A (VA) is stored in tissues predominantly as retinyl esters (REs), which provide substrate for the production of bioactive retinoids. Retinoic acid (RA), a principal metabolite, has been shown to induce postnatal lung development.

Simplified methodology to determine breast milk retinol concentrations

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2002
The impact of a nutritional intervention trial on vitamin A status can be evaluated by measuring the total vitamin A concentration in breast milk both before and after the intervention. Because breast milk contains a spectrum of retinyl esters as well as
