Vitamins are integral to numerous biochemical functions in the human body, serving as indispensable constituents for sustaining optimal health. Vitamins are categorized into two principal groups: fat-soluble (vitamins—A, D, E, K) and water-soluble (vitamins—B, C). Vitamin, as an antioxidant, ...
Some vitamins are particularly made of one nutrient; this is not the case in vitamin A as it contains a broad group of related nutrients. The two main forms are retinoids (retinol, retinal, retinoic acid) and carotenes (α, β and γ); the latter refers to a pro-vitamin mainly found ...
The enzyme cyp27c1 converts A1 into A2 in the retinal pigment epithelium. Replacing A1 with A2 in a visual pigment red-shifts its spectral sensitivity and broadens its bandwidth of absorption at the expense of decreased photosensitivity and increased thermal noise. The use of vitamin A2-based ...
Since gut microbes may influence the bioavailability of several micronutrients including folic acid, vitamin B12 and iron (Maynard and Weinkove, 2020), this may be the case for carotenoids and zinc as well. Furthermore, several studies have shown that a high intake of omega-3 long-chain ...

Furthermore, the findings indi‑ cated that the concentrations of alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D) were down‑ regulated in cases of trisomy 21 (T21) aneuploidy. This sug‑ gests that the decreased A1AT concentration, coupled with exacerbated ...
As an active metabolite of vitamin, RA plays a critical role in reti- nal development. For instance, RA is involved in the process of neurite remodeling in carp horizontal cells under complete darkness [160]. Additionally, the ele- vated RA level has also been detected in the vitiligo mice...
