The Role of Micronutrients in Atherosclerosis: Mechanisms and Clinical Application

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Micronutrients, though required in relatively small quantities by the human body, are essential for maintaining normal physiological functions and play a crucial role in the prevention and management of various diseases. Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common chronic inflammatory condition that often presents without obvious symptoms in its early ...

Unusual properties of retinyl palmitate hydrolase activity in rat liver.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1979
These studies report the hydrolysis of retinyl palmitate with liver homogenates and homogenate fractions from retinol-depleted rats. The studies utilized an effective in vitro assay for retinyl palmitate hydrolase (RPH) activity, in which microgram ...

A Direct and Practical Approach to Assessing the Impact of Emulsion Composition on Vitamin A Stability

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 102, Issue 9, Page 1425-1437, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient involved in vision, immunity, and growth. Despite its widespread use in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products, vitamin A is highly prone to oxidation due to its conjugated double bonds, leading to reduced biological activity and efficacy.

Compartmental modeling of whole-body vitamin A kinetics in unsupplemented and vitamin A-retinoic acid-supplemented neonatal rats[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2014
Little is known about the contribution of different tissues to whole-body vitamin A (VA) kinetics in neonates. Here, we have used model-based compartmental analysis of tissue tracer kinetic data from unsupplemented (control) and VA-retinoic acid (VARA ...

Appropriately differentiated ARPE-19 cells regain phenotype and gene expression profiles similar to those of native RPE cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
PurposeThe RPE cell line ARPE-19 provides a dependable and widely used alternative to native RPE. However, replication of the native RPE phenotype becomes more difficult because these cells lose their specialized phenotype after multiple passages ...

Senescence in hepatic stellate cells as a mechanism of liver fibrosis reversal: a putative synergy between retinoic acid and PPAR-gamma signalings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), also known as perisinusoidal cells, are pericytes found in the perisinusoidal space of the liver. HSCs are the major cell type involved in liver fibrosis, which is the formation of scar tissue in response to liver damage ...
