Intralobular Distribution of Vitamin A-Storing Lipid Droplets in Hepatic Stellate Cells with Special Reference to Polar Bear and Arctic Fox
We examined the liver of adult polar bears, arctic foxes, and rats by gold chloride staining, fluorescence microscopy for the detection of autofluorescence of vitamin A, hematoxylin-eosin staining, staining with Masson's trichrome, Ishii and Ishii's silver impregnation, and transmission electron microscopical morphometry. The liver lobules of the arctic animals showed a zonal gradient in the st...
متن کاملCellular retinol-binding protein I is essential for vitamin A homeostasis.
The gene encoding cellular retinol (ROL, vitA)-binding protein type I (CRBPI) has been inactivated. Mutant mice fed a vitA-enriched diet are healthy and fertile. They do not present any of the congenital abnormalities related to retinoic acid (RA) deficiency, indicating that CRBPI is not indispensable for RA synthesis. However, CRBPI deficiency results in an approximately 50% reduction of retin...
متن کاملChronic vitamin C insufficiency aggravated thioacetamide-induced liver fibrosis in gulo-knockout mice.
Given the involvement of oxidative stress in liver-disease- or hepato-toxicant-induced hepatic damage and fibrosis, antioxidants are an effective preventive and therapeutic tool. The beneficial results of vitamin C, one of the physiological antioxidants, have been observed both in experimental animals and in humans. However, most of these studies have been concerned with supplementary vitamin C...
متن کاملHepatic stellate cells: protean, multifunctional, and enigmatic cells of the liver.
The hepatic stellate cell has surprised and engaged physiologists, pathologists, and hepatologists for over 130 years, yet clear evidence of its role in hepatic injury and fibrosis only emerged following the refinement of methods for its isolation and characterization. The paradigm in liver injury of activation of quiescent vitamin A-rich stellate cells into proliferative, contractile, and fibr...
متن کاملMesangial cells of the lamprey, Lampetra japonica, store vitamin A.
Structure and vitamin A-storage of the mesangial cells in the lamprey kidney are documented using the gold chloride method, fluorescence histochemistry and electron microscopy. Abundant lipid droplets in the cytoplasm of the mesangial cells release intense, but quickly fading vitamin A-fluorescence under a fluorescence microscope and react with gold chloride. Characteristic tubular invagination...
