This report summarizes experiments designed to address issues concerning the metabolism of RA and explains why tissue-dependent differences in the metabolism, particularly in epithelial target tissues as compared to other tissues, may need to be considered.

It is concluded that RA and LPS act independently to alter RA metabolism in vitamin A-marginal rats and the ability of RA to induce its own catabolism is maintained during inflammation.

Biliary metabolites of all-trans-retinoic acid in the rat.

Differences in the action and metabolism between retinol and retinoic acid in B lymphocytes

It is confirmed and extended the findings that cells deprived of retinol perish in cell culture within days, displaying neither signs of apoptosis nor of cell cycle arrest, suggesting the existence of a second retinoid pathway, distinct from that of retinoic acids.

Pharmacokinetic assessment of teratologically effective concentrations of an endogenous retinoic acid metabolite.

The metabolite was equivalent in teratogenic potency to retinoic acid, and, in the instance of cleft palate frequency, it was even more active than usual and elimination kinetics for the two dose levels were similar.

IN VITRO AND IN VIVO METABOLISM OF ALL‐trans‐AND 13‐cis‐RETINOIC ACID IN THE HAMSTER

Initial reports indicated this compound may be as active as retinyl acetate in promoting growth when administered to vitamin A-deficient rats, but later reports concluded that epoxidation at the 5,6-double bond markedly lowers the biological activity of vitamin A.

Metabolism of vitamin A, structure and synthesis of metabolites, and their biological activity (Review)

In the case of a chronic deficiency of vitamin A there are metaplastic changes in the epithelium of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tracts, which may be the first stage in the transformation of normal cells to malignant cells.
