Abstract
In mamian organisms retinoids and their derivatives are important in regulation of divershysiological functions. Retinoic acid, the most potent of naturally occurring retinoids, only rntly has been recognized as a major hormone in cell differentiation and development (Gudas994). In mammals biosynthesis of retinoids proceeds via central or excent cleavage of carotene to retinaldehyde followed by its reduction to retinol or oxidation to retic acid (Goodman and Huang, 1965; Olson and Hyashi, 1965; Wang et al., 1996b)KeywordsRetinoic AcidHuman LiverAldehyde DehydrogenaseFetal Alcohol SyndromeNoic AcidThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
