A. CYP26A1, CYP26B1 and LRAT expression are low in normal cells which result in the “correct” amount of retinoic acid and expression of retinoic acid target genes to maintain and promote normal cell growth and differentiation. B.

Genetics and the diet attenuate ocular lipofuscin production and accumulation and improves visual and RPE function in Abca4−/− mice. Abca4−/− mice supplemented with β‐carotene (BC) diet showed an increase in BC concentrations and retinoic acid metabolites in the liver, which led to an induction of hepatic Rbpr2 gene activity via RAR and RXR regulatory ...

Retinoic acid signalling in urinary bladder cancer
Rak sečnega mehurja je deseti najpogostejši rak na svetu z visoko stopnjo ponovljivosti. Epidemiološke študije so pokazale, da povišan vnos vitamina A s prehrano zmanjša tveganje za razvoj raka mehurja.

ABSTRACT All‐trans retinoic acid (atRA) plays a critical role in tissue homeostasis as a master regulator of cellular proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation as well as in immune cell differentiation and function. An active metabolite of vitamin A, atRA has been reported to be reduced in a number of inflammatory conditions in both the lung and gut.

Scientific opinion on the tolerable upper intake level for preformed vitamin A and β‐carotene
Abstract Following two requests from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the revision of the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for preformed vitamin A and β‐carotene. Systematic reviews of the literature were conducted for priority adverse health effects

Retinoid Treatment for Oral Leukoplakia: Current Evidence and Future Development
Oral leukoplakia (OLK) is one of the most common oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). Preventing malignant transformation is the main purpose of OLK treatment. The treatment approaches of OLK include surgery, chemotherapy, and other therapies, such as photodynamic therapy and CO2 laser.

In vitro epigenetic reprogramming of human cardiac mesenchymal stromal cells into functionally competent cardiovascular precursors [PDF]
Adult human cardiac mesenchymal-like stromal cells (CStC) represent a relatively accessible cell type useful for therapy. In this light, their conversion into cardiovascular precursors represents a potential successful strategy for cardiac repair.
