  • Title: Retinoid (vitamin A) metabolism.
    Author: Hendriks HF.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Nutr; 1996 Jul; 50 Suppl 3():S2-6. PubMed ID: 8841765.
    Abstract:
    An overview is given of our understanding of the uptake and metabolism of retinoids. The mechanisms underlying retinol uptake by organs and tissues are still unsettled. The retinol-binding proteins CRBP I and CRBP II appear to play an essential role in retinyl ester hydrolysis and formation and in retinoic acid formation.
