The Role of Micronutrients in Atherosclerosis: Mechanisms and Clinical Application
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.
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 ...

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