Macrophages are novel sites of expression and regulation of retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4).
Obesity is linked to a low-level chronic inflammatory state that may contribute to the development of associated metabolic complications. Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is an adipokine associated with parameters of obesity including insulin resistance indices, body mass index, waist circumference, lipid profile, and recently, with circulating inflammatory factors. Due to the infiltration of a...
متن کاملassociation of plasma retinol binding protein-4 (rbp4) and sonographic grading of fatty liver in obese iranian children
results rbp4 levels in obese children (19 482.9 ± 3 302.2 pg/ml) were higher than those found in the lean control group (14 295.68 ± 2 381.3 pg/ml) (p < 0.05). in the obese patients, rbp4 levels showed a significant correlation with the grade of fatty liver and bmi (p < 0.05). conclusions it was found that the level of rbp4 had a strong correlation with the severity of fatty liver. therefore, r...
متن کاملLiver retinol transporter and receptor for serum retinol-binding protein (RBP4).
Vitamin A (retinol) is absorbed in the small intestine, stored in liver, and secreted into circulation bound to serum retinol-binding protein (RBP4). Circulating retinol may be taken up by extrahepatic tissues or recycled back to liver multiple times before it is finally metabolized or degraded. Liver exhibits high affinity binding sites for RBP4, but specific receptors have not been identified...
متن کاملRegulation of retinol‐binding protein 4 and retinol metabolism in fatty liver disease
Vitamin A refers to a spectrum of retinoid compounds (retinol, retinoic acid, and retinaldehyde) with important functions in different tissues, including the retina and skin. Retinoids regulate metabolic pathways through binding to two nuclear hormone receptors: retinoic acid receptor and retinoid X receptor. In humans, approximately 80% of the body reservoir of vitamin A is stored in the liver...
متن کاملRegulation by FSH of the dynamic expression of retinol-binding protein 4 in the mouse ovary
BACKGROUND Ovarian retinoid homeostasis plays an important role in the physiological function of the ovary. Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) acts as the mediator for the systemic and intercellular transport of retinol and is heavily involved in cellular retinol influx, efflux, and exchange. However, the expression patterns and regulatory mechanisms of Rbp4 in the ovary remain unclear. METHODS...
