Vitamin A is stored in the lipid droplets of liver stellate cells (LSCs), as retinyl esters whose
hydrolysis is necessary for the secretion of retinol into the blood. Here, we isolated these …

Approximately 80% of the body vitamin A is stored in liver stellate cells with in the lipid
droplets as retinyl esters. In low vitamin A status or after liver injury, stellate cells are …

Vitamin A is stored as retinyl esters (REs) in lipid droplets of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). To
date, two different pathways are known to facilitate the breakdown of REs:(i) Hydrolysis of …

A review of recent studies details the involvement of parenchymal and stellate cells in
hepatic retinol metabolism. Parenchymal cells take up newly absorbed retinyl esters in …

The stellate cells of the liver are the main storage site of retinyl esters in the body. During
cultivation in vitro of stellate cells isolated from rat and rabbit livers were observed that the …

Stellate cells (SC) in the liver store the most retinoid in the body, but the mechanisms of
specific retinoid transport into SC remain to be elucidated. In this study, to analyze the …

抄録 The mechanisms of retinol transport and Accumulation in hepatic stellate cells (HSC)
remain to be clucidated. Our previous studies suggested that retinol esterfication activity …

The four most important non-specific carboxylesterases from rat liver were assayed for their
ability to hydrolyse retinyl esters. Only the esterases with pI 6.2 and 6.4 (= esterase ES-4) …

In mammals, vitamin A is primarily stored as retinyl esters in hepatic stellate cells under
normal dietary intake of the vitamin. Previously, extrahepatic vitamin A-storing stellate cells …

Previous studies have demonstrated that homogenates of the livers of rats contain a neutral
retinyl ester hydrolase activity that requires millimolar concentrations of bile salts for maximal …
