  2. 6. Retinoic Acid Metabolism Blocking Agents and the Skin : In vivo and in vitro Studies of the Effects on Normal and Diseased Human Epidermis

    Author : Elizabeth Pavez Loriè; Anders Vahlquist; Hans Törmä; Marie Virtanen; Helen Håkansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CYP; CYP26; retinoids; vitamin A; RAMBA; metabolism; keratinocyte; epidermis; retinoid regulated genes; Dermatology and venerology; Dermatologi och venerologi;

    Abstract : Retinoic Acid Metabolism Blocking Agents (RAMBAs) increase the endogenous levels of all-trans retinoic acid (RA) by inhibiting CYP26 enzymes. Thus they are believed to mimic the effects of retinoid treatment. Their mechanism of action and effects on vitamin A metabolism in keratinocytes are however uncertain. READ MORE

  4. 7. Retinoids in the modulation of vascular inflammation

    Author : Andreas Gidlöf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Retinoids; metabolism; vascular smooth muscle cell; nitric oxide; inflammation; proliferation; restenosis;

    Abstract : Vascular disease is multifactorial. Smooth muscle cells, the major constituent of the normal vessel wall, play a pivotal role. The pathogenesis includes cellular differentiation, proliferation and inflammatory activation. READ MORE

  6. 9. Retinoids and vitamin D in skin and parathyroid glands

    Author : Liu Wei; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; all-trans retinoic acid 9-cis retinoic acid vitamin A. vitamin D. CRBP. CRABP. RAR. RXR. parathyroid hormone. calcium receptor; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Vitamin D3 (VitD3) and retinoids are important factors involved in differentiation and proliferation in many cell systems. Their effects in skin, where retinoids and vitamin D are known to be crucially involved in keratinocyte differentiation and function,, and in the parathyroid, the overall regulatory organ in calcium homeostasis were studied.
