Evidence shows that altered retinoic acid signaling may contribute to the pathogenesis and
pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Retinoic acid is the bioactive derivative of the …

ABSTRACT A systematic review was conducted to summarize the absorption, transport,
storage, and metabolism of oral neonatal vitamin A supplementation (NVAS). This review …

Retinoids are potent transcriptional regulators that act in regulating cell proliferation,
differentiation, and other cellular processes. We carried out studies in male mice to establish …

Dietary micronutrients constitute a major environmental factor influencing aging processes.
Vitamin A (vit. A) is the precursor of retinoic acid, a bioactive molecule that controls the …

Recent research shows a link between vitamin intake during pregnancy and offspring
health. Inadequate intakes of water-soluble vitamins during pregnancy lead to obesity and …

ABSTRACT Background Neonatal vitamin A (VA) supplementation is being evaluated as a
public health policy for preventing infant mortality, but inconsistencies in mortality trials …

Background: α-tocopherol (αT) in its natural form [2´ R, 4´ R, 8´ RαT (RRR-αT)] is more
bioactive than synthetic α-tocopherol (all rac-αT). All rac-αT is widely used in infant formulas …

Maternal obesity may compromise the micronutrient status of the offspring. Vitamin A (VA) is
an essential micronutrient during neonatal development. Its active metabolite, retinoic acid …

Abstract Background: Vitamin A (VA; retinol) supplementation is used to reduce child
mortality in countries with high rates of malnutrition. Existing research suggests that …

Background: Iron deficiency can result in hyporetinolemia and hepatic vitamin A (VA)
sequestration. Objectives: We used model-based compartmental analysis to determine the …
