Abstract:Cells are known to take up molecules through membrane transport mechanisms such as active transport, channels, and facilitated transport. We report here a new membrane transport mechanism that employs neither cellular energy like active transport nor a preexisting electrochemical gradient of the free substrate like channels or facilitated transport. Through this mechanism, cells take up vitamin A bound with high affinity to retinol binding protein (RBP) in the blood. This mechanism is mediated by the RBP recep… Show more
“…for trapping of glucose by ATP-dependent phosphorylation). Besides LRAT, CRBP1 was suggested as an intracellular ROL acceptor from in vitro studies (16). Interestingly, we found that Lrat Ϫ/Ϫ mice displayed relatively high levels of CRBP1 in tissues as compared with control mice used in this study.…”

“…In cell culture studies, CRBP1 has been implicated in STRA6-mediated vitamin A uptake (16). Interestingly, Lrat Ϫ/Ϫ mice showed elevated CRBP1 protein in the liver, lung, and adipose tissue as compared with wild type control animals (Fig.…”

“…Function-Previous cell culture studies implicated LRAT in the uptake of vitamin A from holo-RBP (12,15,16). To analyze the role of LRAT for this process in vivo, we devised a method to measure cellular vitamin A uptake from holo-RBP in mice.…”

“…Cell culture studies indicate that the flux of ROL between RBP and STRA6 is bidirectional and that cellular accumulation of ROL depends on the cellular vitamin A-binding protein 1 (CRBP1) and lecithin:ROL acyltransferase (LRAT) (15,16). LRAT is a microsomal membrane-anchored enzyme that converts ROL into RE by transferring palmitate from the sn-2 position of lecithin (17).…”
Background: Cellular uptake of retinol bound to its serum binding protein depends on a cell surface receptor. Results: Functional coupling of this receptor with lecithin:retinol acyltransferase is required for the regulated cellular uptake of retinol.
Conclusion:The lecithin: retinol acyltransferase is critical for retinol uptake and homeostasis. Significance: Blood retinol homeostasis is associated with blinding retinopathies and diabetes.

ÖZETOksidatif stres, vücut metabolizması sırasında üretilen serbest radikaller ve bunların vücuttan temizlenmesi ile ilgili antioksidan sistem elemanları arasın-daki dengenin serbest radikaller lehine bozulması durumudur. Kanser, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar ve nörodejeneratif hastalıkların etiyolojisinde etkili olduğu düşünülen oksidatif stres, aynı zamanda şizofreni, duygudurum bozuklukları, otizm, dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu gibi bazı ruhsal bozuklukların patogenezinde de sorumlu mekanizmalardan birisi olarak gö-rülmektedir. Bu bağlamda ruhsal bozuklukların bilinen mevcut tedavileri dışında antioksidan vitamin ekleme tedavileri gündeme gelmiştir. Bu süreçte yer alan A, C ve E vitaminleri antioksidan savunmayı desteklemek dışında bazı ruhsal bozukluklarda görülebilen beslenme sorunlarına ikincil eksikliklerde de kullanılabilmektedir. Bu yazıda A, C ve E vitaminlerinin vücuttaki süreçlerine ilişkin biyokimyasal, moleküler ve genetik veriler gözden geçirile-cek daha sonra antioksidan vitaminlerin ekleme tedavilerinin psikiyatride hangi koşullarda gündeme gelebileceği ve uygulanması halinde dikkat edilmesi gereken faktörler tartışılacaktır.

ABSTRACTOxidative stress can be defined as imbalance between prooxidant molecules produced during body metabolism and members of antioxidant system for favor of former. Oxidative stress, which is included in the pathogenesis of cancer, aging, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, is also considered for pathogenetic mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, mood disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Due to important role of antioxidant vitamins in antioxidant defense mechanisms, vitamin supplementation therapies are considered in addition to conventional
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
