β-Carotene Bioavailability and Conversion Efficiency Are Significantly Affected by Sex in Rats First Observation Suggesting a Possible Hormetic Regulation of Vitamin A Metabolism in Female Rats

Patrick Borel et al.

Summary: The study found lower plasma retinol concentrations and higher hepatic free retinol concentrations in female rats. Beta-carotene bioavailability and conversion efficiency to VA are influenced by sex, with female rats showing higher bioavailability but lower conversion efficiency. Most gene expressions exhibit a U-shaped dose response curve depending on VA intake.

Biological Functions of RBP4 and Its Relevance for Human Diseases

Julia S. Steinhoff et al.

Summary: RBP4 is a major transport protein of retinol in the body, primarily expressed in the liver where it plays a crucial role in mobilizing vitamin A reserves. In addition to retinol transport, RBP4 also has other functions, with two distinct receptors identified for mediating retinol uptake.
