Regulation of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism by retinoids - 02/09/11
Abstract |
Retinoids are small vitamin A-derived lipophilic compounds that influence a wide variety of developmental and metabolic processes. Retinoids exert their action by activating transcription factors belonging to the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) subfamilies of nuclear receptors. Therapeutically, retinoids are used for the treatment of dermatological disorders and certain cancers. Dyslipidemia is a common side-effect of therapy with the currently available retinoids. This review summarizes our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of regulation of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism by retinoids. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;45:S158-67.)
