TL;DR: Both parenchymal and stellate cells contain substantial amounts of retinoids and of the enzymes and intracellular binding proteins involved in retinol metabolism, and stelate cells are particularly enriched in these several components.

TL;DR: The pattern of response induced by partially hydrogenated fish oil mimics those induced by xenobiotic compounds collectively termed peroxisome proliferators, and is consistent with the proposal that components in dietary oils are responsible for the pleiotropic responses evoked in target cells.

TL;DR: It is found that the ligands studied were recognized differently by the various cell types in the liver, and that RBP was most efficiently taken up by parenchymal and stellate cells.

TL;DR: Key enzymes involved in oxidation and esterification of long-chain fatty acids were investigated in male rats fed different types and amounts of oil in their diet and indicated that, with PHFO, a greater part of the activated fatty acids are directed from triacylglycerol esterization and hydrolysis towards oxidation in the mitochondria.

TL;DR: The levels of long-chain acyl-CoA in the livers of rats given diets containing various amounts of dietary oils were investigated, and a straight line was obtained compared with the levels observed after 3 days on different diets with the peroxisomal β-oxidation activity determined after 3 weeks.
