Retinol esterification by mammary gland microsomes from the lactating rat.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1982
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 ...

Analysis of Vitamin A in Multivitamin Products

open access: yesРегуляторные исследования и экспертиза лекарственных средств, 2021
Vitamin A is present in multivitamin products mainly in the form of retinol esters: retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, and beta carotene—retinol precursor (dimer) found in plants, which is capable of converting into retinol in liver cells.

Separation and identification of triglycerides, cholesteryl esters, cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, dolichol, ubiquinone, alpha-tocopherol, and retinol by high performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1988
A simple isocratic high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system is described that allows separation and identification of cholesteryl esters, triglycerides, ubiquinone, alpha-tocopherol, dolichol, cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, and retinol ...

Retinyl Ester Analysis by Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry

open access: yes, 2023
Retinoids are light-sensitive molecules that are normally detected by UV absorption techniques. Here we describe the identification and quantification of retinyl ester species by high-resolution mass spectrometry. Retinyl esters are extracted by the method of Bligh and Dyer and subsequently separated by HPLC in runs of 40 min.

Absorption, transport, and storage of retinyl-15-14C palmitate-9,10-3H in the rat

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1966
Retinyl-15-14C palmitate-9,10-3H was fed to rats in order to study hydrolysis and reesterification of this ester during digestion, absorption, transportation, and storage.

Plasma clearance of chylomicrons labeled with retinyl palmitate in healthy human subjects.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1984
To estimate hepatic uptake of chylomicron remnants in humans, chylomicrons and intestinal very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) were endogenously labeled with retinyl esters, harvested by plasmapheresis, and pulse-injected into the donor 44 hr after ...

Retinyl ester hydrolases and their roles in vitamin A homeostasis

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2012
In mammals, dietary vitamin A intake is essential for the maintenance of adequate retinoid (vitamin A and metabolites) supply of tissues and organs. Retinoids are taken up from animal or plant sources and subsequently stored in form of hydrophobic, biologically inactive retinyl esters (REs). Accessibility of these REs in the intestine, the circulation,

Tissue distribution and metabolism of newly absorbed vitamin A in the rat

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1965
Chylomicrons containing newly absorbed labeled vitamin A were injected intravenously into normal intact rats, and the tissue distribution of radioactivity was observed for several days.

Characterization of liver stellate cell retinyl ester storage [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1994
The stellate cells of the liver are the main storage site of retinyl esters in the body. During cultivation in vitro of stellate cells isolated from rat and rabbit livers were observed that the cells rapidly loose their retinyl ester content. Freshly isolated stellate cells contain about 144 nmol of total retinol/mg of protein, while cells cultivated ...

A human skin multifunctional O-acyltransferase that catalyzes the synthesis of acylglycerols, waxes, and retinyl esters

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
Acyl-CoA-dependent O-acyltransferases catalyze reactions in which fatty acyl-CoAs are joined to acyl acceptors containing free hydroxyl groups to produce neutral lipids.
