Ross A, Cifelli C, Zolfaghari R, Li N
Physiol Genomics . 2010 Nov; 43(1):57-67. PMID: 21045116
Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential precursor for the production of retinoic acid (RA), which in turn is a major regulator of gene expression, affecting cell differentiation throughout the body....

Chen G, Zhang Y, Lu D, Li N, Ross A
Biochem J . 2009 Jan; 419(3):645-53. PMID: 19173678
Hepatic GK (glucokinase) plays a key role in maintaining glucose homoeostasis. Many stimuli regulate GK activity by controlling its gene transcription. We hypothesized that endogenous lipophilic molecules modulate hepatic Gck...

Ross A, Li N
J Nutr . 2007 Oct; 137(11):2371-6. PMID: 17951472
The lungs require an adequate supply of vitamin A for normal embryonic development, postnatal maturation, and maintenance and repair during adult life. We have previously shown that a nutrient-metabolite combination...

Ross A, Li N
J Nutr . 2007 Sep; 137(10):2213-8. PMID: 17885000
Although it is understood that plasma retinol concentration is not proportional to the concentration of vitamin A stored in liver, plasma retinol still is often used as an indicator of...

Sankaranarayanan S, Ma Y, Bryson M, Li N, Ross A
J Nutr . 2007 Apr; 137(5):1229-35. PMID: 17449586
Vitamin A supplementation for infants and young children is recommended by WHO/UNICEF for countries with a high prevalence of vitamin A deficiency, and vitamin A is often administered at immunization...

Zolfaghari R, Cifelli C, Lieu S, Chen Q, Li N, Ross A
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol . 2006 Dec; 292(4):G1029-36. PMID: 17185629
Retinoic acid (RA), a principal metabolite of vitamin A (retinol), is an essential endogenous regulator of gene transcription and an important therapeutic agent. The catabolism of RA must be well...

Ross A, Li N, Wu L
J Nutr . 2006 Oct; 136(11):2803-7. PMID: 17056804
Retinoic acid (RA), produced from vitamin A (VA, retinol), is required for normal lung development and postnatal lung maturation. The concentration of retinyl ester (RE), the major storage form of...

Ross A, Ambalavanan N, Zolfaghari R, Li N
J Lipid Res . 2006 May; 47(8):1844-51. PMID: 16685080
Vitamin A (VA) is stored in tissues predominantly as retinyl esters (REs), which provide substrate for the production of bioactive retinoids. Retinoic acid (RA), a principal metabolite, has been shown...
