Metabolism of all-trans-retinyl acetate to retinoic acid in hamster tracheal organ culture.

TLDR
Further in vitro metabolism of [3H]retinyl acetate paralleled the metabolism of [/14C]retinoic acid suggesting that these two compounds are being metabolized through similar pathways.

All-trans-retinoic acid: measurement of reference values in human serum by high performance liquid chromatography.

TL;DR: A quantitative determination of physiological levels of all-trans-retinoic acid (vitamin A acid) in human serum has been developed and fitted a normal-Gaussian distributional shape with a mean value of 3.5 ng/ml and SD of 0.4 ng/ ml by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.

Structure-activity relationships of a new series of retinoidal benzoic acid derivatives as measured by induction of differentiation of murine F9 teratocarcinoma cells and human HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells.

TL;DR: These new retinoids should be useful agents for experimental studies of both cancer prevention and treatment, as well as for investigation of the mechanism of action of retinoid in the control of cell differentiation.

Metabolism of Retinoids

TL;DR: This chapter discusses metabolism of retinoids, which consists of Dietary retinol is quickly esterified in the intestinal mucosa with long-chain fatty acids and is incorporated into chylomicra and transported through the lymph to the liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of retinoid metabolism in the developing chick limb bud.

TL;DR: Local metabolism supports the hypothesis that retinoids are local chemical mediators involved in pattern formation and could provide a simple mechanism to generate in a controlled fashion the biologically active all-trans-retinoic acid from its abundant biosynthetic precursor retinol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolism of retinoids by embryonal carcinoma cells.

TL;DR: The data lead to propose that retinol does not induce differentiation of EC cells in vitro via conversion to retinoic acid, and the relatively rapid metabolism of retinoi acid by EC cells suggests either that the induction of differentiation need involve only a transient exposure to this retinoid or that one or more of the retinoIC acid metabolites can also promote differentiation.

Relationships between structure and activity of retinoids

TL;DR: The ring, side chain, and polar terminal group of natural retinoids all may be modified synthetically to yield highly active compounds, which can be significantly less toxic than the corresponding carboxylic acids or alcohols.

Isolation and identification of 4-hydroxy- and 4-oxoretinoic acid. In vitro metabolites of all-trans-retinoic acid in hamster trachea and liver.

TL;DR: Two metabolites produced in a cell-free liver incubation reaction also migrate on a high-pressure liquid chromatography column together with metabolites isolated from a tracheal organ culture system both in ultraviolet absorption and mass spectral characteristics and in migration rates on two different reverse-phase high- pressure liquid chromatographic systems.
