Effect of Nutrition and Management on Marbling Deposition, Carcass Value, and Profitability in Feedlot Cattle
… of dietary vitamin A on carcass quality and serum retinol (ROL) in cattle. Diets were calculated to contain 2300 (LVA) or 7250 IU/kg (HVA). No treatment differences existed for MS across all trials. Serum ROL was greater among calf-fed heifers and steers fed HVA. Serum ROL and MS were not …

Developmental and estrogen regulation of Xenopus laevis retinol-binding protein gene expression
… regulation of the estrogen-regulated serum retinol-binding protein and estrogen receptor genes in Xenopus embryonic livers has been examined. Serum retinol binding protein (RBP) mRNA is detected exclusively in liver tissue in both adult Xenopus laevis and in tadpoles. RBP mRNA is …

The Effects of Feeding Varying Concentrations of Vitamin a for One Year to Adult Dogs
… A/1000 kcal dietary ME. Complete blood count, serum chemistry, prothrombin time, histological analysis of buccal mucosa, computed tomography of the tibia, and magnetic resonance imaging of the liver and tibia were performed. There were no effects of vitamin A on any parameters other than buccal …

Cloning and Estrogen Regulation of the Retinol Binding Protein Messenger-Rna of Xenopus Laevis
… homology alignment with the sequence for human retinol binding protein, the clone was identified as the mRNA for serum retinol binding protein of Xenopus. Since we wished to use this gene to study hormone regulation, it was important to establish its hormone regulation in vivo. Therefore, I …

A biscuit fortified with iron, iodine and B-carotene as a strategy to address micronutrient deficiencies in primary school children
… resulted in a significant improvement in serum retinol, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, haemoglobin and urinary iodine excretion. Morbidity and cognitive function, particularly the cognitive function in the children presenting with low iron status and with goitre! at baseline, were …

Fluctuations and Instantons in Complex Landscapes: From Ligand Unbinding to Proton Transfer
… of ligand binding in a model system. Using the serum retinol binding protein as a prototype, the potential of mean force associated with ligand binding is calculated and dissected. Desolvation is sufficient to drive formation of an intermediate binding state; however, a combination of …

Vitamin A depletion and repletion in thoroughbred horses
… as supplements. Vitamin A status was assessed by serum retinol concentrations (SR) and the relative dose response (RDR) which was adapted for use in the horse. The horses (45 Thoroughbred mares) were divided into three diet groups: pasture and hay only (PH); pasture, hay and vitamin A-free …

Mechanistic Insights on The Immunomodulatory Functions of Diverse Environmental Factors on Systemic Autoimmunity
… reports had shown hypovitaminosis A (reduced serum retinol levels) proceeding SLE, we expanded our investigation to decipher whether VA deficiency (VAD) was a contributing factor for severe SLE and to delineate how VAD affected the initiation and/or the progression of lupus nephritis in …
