Retinoids are essential for reproduction. Most research has focused on the role of retinoic
acid signaling in the regulation of meiosis during early fetal germ cell development …

Background Retinoids (retinol and its derivatives) are required for the development and
maintenance of normal physiological functions of the ovary. However, the mechanisms …

Retinoic acid (RA), a naturally occurring metabolite of vitamin A, plays an essential role in
regulating cellular growth, differentiation, and death in a variety of tissues, particularly during …

Retinoids (retinol and its derivatives) are required for maintaining vision, immunity, barrier
function, reproduction, embryogenesis, cell proliferation and differentiation. Furthermore …

Retinoic acid, an active metabolite of vitamin A, is necessary for many developmental
processes in mammals. Much of the field of reproduction has looked toward retinoic acid as …

The importance of dietary retinol (vitamin A) and retinoid signaling for normal development
and differentiation has been recognised for many years. Vitamin A deficiency results in a …

In female mice, the Müllerian duct develops into the oviduct, uterus and vagina. The fate of
epithelia is determined by factors secreted from the mesenchyme. Retinoic acid (RA) and its …

BACKGROUND: All-trans retinoic acid (RA), the oxidative metabolite of vitamin A, is
essential for normal development. In addition, high levels of RA are teratogenic in many …

Vitamin A (also called retinol) and its derivatives, retinoic acids (RAs), are required for
postnatal testicular function. Abnormal spermatogenesis is observed in rodents on vitamin A …

This review explores the usefulness retinoic acid (RA) related physiological factors as
possible biomarkers of embryotoxicity. RA is involved in the morphogenesis of the early …
