We have studied excretion of oral 9-cis-retinoic acid in urine and feces in vigil rats and in bile in anesthetized rats. A proportion of 53 +/- 13% of the dose of 9-cis-retinoic acid administered was eliminated through the feces in 72 hr, and the urinary excretion was negligible. The prevalent form of elimination in feces and urine was the unchanged compound. Low biliary excretion was, for the most part, composed of metabolites.

Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPPP), or palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), is a type of psoriasis that affects the skin on the palms and soles. It is characterised by dermatosis and small sterile pustules and is considered a significant burden on patients' quality of life, as there is currently no gold standard treatment or cure. This network meta-analysis (NMA) compares the efficacy and safety of biologic and non-biologic medications for PPPP and PPP.

Background: There are important inter-relationships between miRNAs and metabolites: alterations in miRNA expression can be induced by various metabolic stimuli, and miRNAs play a regulatory role in numerous cellular processes, impacting metabolism. While both specific miRNAs and metabolites have been identified for their role in childhood asthma, there has been no global assessment of the combined effect of miRNAs and the metabolome in childhood asthma.

Methods: We performed miRNAome-metabolome-wide association studies ('miR-metabo-WAS') in two childhood cohorts of asthma to evaluate the contemporaneous and persistent miRNA-metabolite associations: 1) Genetic Epidemiology of Asthma in Costa Rica Study (GACRS) (N = 1121); 2) the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) (N = 312 and N = 454).

Secondary upper limb lymphedema is easy to occur after breast cancer surgery, for which treatment is limited. 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cisRA) has been demonstrated to increase lymphangiogenesis without enhancing tumor metastasis but has the disadvantages of poor water solubility, easy decomposition in light, unstable to heat, and short half-life. Based on this, 9-cisRA-Lip with a particle size of roughly 143 nm and high dispersibility was prepared by thin-film dispersion method and verified by Malvern Laser Particle Size Analyzer and electron microscopy.

Farnesoid X receptor α (FXRα, NR1H4) is a bile acid-activated nuclear receptor that regulates the expression of glycolytic and lipogenic target genes by interacting with the 9-cis-retinoic acid receptor α (RXRα, NR2B1). Along with cofactors, the FXRα proteins reported thus far in humans and rodents have been observed to regulate both isoform (α1-4)- and tissue-specific gene expression profiles to integrate energy balance and metabolism. Here, we studied the biological functions of an FXRα naturally occurring spliced exon 5 isoform (FXRαse5) lacking the second zinc-binding module of the DNA-binding domain.

Colon adenocarcinoma is characterized by the downregulation of the retinoic acid receptor, making natural retinoids such as all-trans retinoic acid, 9-cis retinoic acid and 13-cis retinoic acid effective in treatment and chemoprevention due to their ability to increase RARβ expression. However, major limitations to their use include tolerability and acquired resistance. In this study, we evaluated fenretinide, a semisynthetic derivative of all-trans retinoic acid, in an HT-29 cell line.
