Natural retinoids and beta-carotene: from food to their actions on gene expression

1998-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin A (retinol) is found in foods of animal origin in the form of retinyl ester, or in fruits and vegetables as carotenoids with provitamin A activity, especially beta-carotene. Inside the enterocytes, retinol binds to cellular retinal-binding protein. type II (CRBPII), which directs its esterification by the enzyme lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT). beta-Carotene may undergo central or eccentric cleavag...
