Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 The present study was conducted to examine whether the intestinal esterification of retinol could be due to a microsomal acyl-CoA transferase. When the 'microsomal fraction' of rat mucosa was incubated with [3H]retinol and palmitoyl-CoA or oleoyl-CoA ...

Advances in cholesterol and lipoproteins detection for healthcare: A review
VIEW, EarlyView.Cholesterol is one of the main biomarkers related to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Its detection still relies on traditional methods of analysis, such as gas and liquid chromatographies. Detection of free cholesterol in saliva with redox or enzymatic sensors or detection of lipoproteins in blood with aptamer sensors are currently the most

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 We investigated the effects of two natural dietary retinoid X receptor (RXR) ligands, phytanic acid (PA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on proliferation and on the metabolism of retinol (vitamin A) in both cultured normal human prostate epithelial cells

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.RDH11 is a minor isoenzyme that catalyses the oxidation of 11‐cis‐retinol to 11‐cis‐retinal in the retinal pigment epithelium, alongside RDH5 and RDH10. Biallelic null variants in RDH11 lead to upregulation of RDH5 and RDH10 (transcriptional adaptation), maintaining 11‐cis‐retinal bioavailability, but still causing Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy due to

Metabolism of retinol-binding protein and vitamin A during hypervitaminosis A in the rat
Journal of Lipid Research, 1975 Vitamin A is normally transported in plasma as retinol bound to a specific protein, retinol-binding protein (RBP). Detailed studies were conducted to examine the effects of excess vitamin A on the plasma concentration and metabolism of RBP, and to obtain

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 ...
