Endometriosis expresses a molecular pattern consistent with decreased retinoid uptake, metabolism and action.
BACKGROUND Retinoic acid (RA) regulates key biological processes, including differentiation, apoptosis and cell survival. RA mediates induction of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 mRNA, catalyzing the conversion of estradiol to estrone, in endometrium but not endometriosis because of a defect in endometriotic stromal cells. This defect may involve both the uptake and metabolism of RA...
متن کاملRetinoid metabolism and mode of action.
Vitamin A and its derivaties (retinoids) are necessary for the maintenance of normal phenotypic expression. An attempt at understanding the biochemical role of vitamin A had led to the demonstration of a new pathway for retinol. In this pathway, vitamin A is phosphorylated to retinylphosphate (RP), which is then glycosylated to retinylphosphatemannose (MRP). These two derivatives have been foun...

SGROI, SUSAN BONNER-WEIR, GORDON C. WEIR, Boston, MA Brain death of pancreas donors is thought to lead to the expression of infl ammatory, stress and apoptotic pathways in isolated islets resulting in poor clini...
متن کاملRetinoid-binding proteins: mediators of retinoid action.
Active vitamin A metabolites, known as retinoids, are essential for multiple physiological processes, ranging from vision to embryonic development. These small hydrophobic compounds associate in vivo with soluble proteins that are present in a variety of cells and in particular extracellular compartments, and which bind different types of retinoids with high selectivity and affinity. Traditiona...
متن کاملRetinoid Metabolism and Diabetes Mellitus
Retinoid acid is a metabolite of vitamin A and functions as an important factor in cell survival, differentiation and death. Most previous studies on retinoid metabolism have focused on its association with cancer, hematologic and dermatologic disorders. Given the special concern over the recent increase in the prevalence of diabetes worldwide, the role of retinoid metabolism on glucose metabol...
