“…Similar results were shown in other studies [107,108]. It has been suggested that protein intake is more crucial than the caloric intake for RBP4 levels [109]. In fact, an energy-restricted diet with a higher protein intake was associated with a 30% greater decrease in RBP4 levels (35% compared with 20% of protein intake) [110].…”

Although many preventive and treatment approaches have been proposed, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide. Current epidemiological data require the specification of new causative factors, as well as the development of improved diagnostic tools to provide better cardiovascular management. Excessive accumulation of adipose tissue among patients suffering from obesity not only constitutes one of the main risk factors of CVD development but also alters adipokines. Increased attention is devoted to bioactive adipokines, which are also produced by the adipose tissue. The retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been associated with numerous CVDs and is presumably associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. With this in mind, exploring the role of RBP4, particularly among patients with obesity, could be a promising direction and could lead to better CVD prevention and management in this patient group. In our review, we summarized the current knowledge about RBP4 and its association with essential aspects of cardiovascular disease—lipid profile, intima-media thickness, atherosclerotic process, and diet. We also discussed the RBP4 gene polymorphisms essential from a cardiovascular perspective.

“…These data suggest that the proposed preservation of body proteins may be restricted to the visceral compartment, and that peripheral nitrogen availability is decreased with VLEDs. In fact, the plasma concentrations of total protein, albumin, and retinol-binding protein remain unchanged during a VLED weight-loss program [6]. By contrast, total starvation for 3 weeks decreases the levels of haptoglobin, transferrin, retinol-binding protein, and immunoglobulins [19,59], but do not affect mean plasma albumin levels [19,35,59].…”

“…(33) The concentrations of total proteins, albumin and retinol binding proteins are significantly lower in protein energy malnutrition. (34) However, studies on serum values in infants have shown significant correlation of retinol with total protein and albumin. (35) For fetal development and growth, vitamin A has been reported as an essential micronutrient.…”

Vitamin A deficiency is a world wide nutritional problem especially in the developing countries that afflicts severely the health of pregnant and lactating women, infants and children. Women are the most vulnerable group affected by vitamin A deficiency during their pregnancy and lactating periods. Different strategies like food diversification, fortification, and supplementation are helpful to cope with vitamin A deficiency. Food fortification is the most cost effective, long-term approach, while supplementation is considered to be the fastidious way to uplift vitamin A status. Generally Retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate are used in different food products as fortificants against the Vitamin A menace. In addition to these food-based strategies, educating the people regarding health and nutrition can also play an effective role.
