Intestinal absorption of vitamin A in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Tuitoek, Prisca J.; Thomson, A.B.; Rajotte, R.V.; Basu, T.K. (Diabetes Research, 1994)Diabetes mellitus is known to be associated with enhanced intestinal absorption of lipids. A validated in vitro technique was used to examine the uptake of (3H) retinol (a lipid soluble vitamin) into the jejunum and ileum ... -
Strain variation in vitamin A (retinol) status of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Tuitoek, Prisca J.; Lakey, J.R.; Rajotte, R.V.; Basu, T.K. (International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research, 1996)Decreased plasma concentrations of vitamin A (retinol) and retinol-binding protein have been previously identified in human subjects with type I diabetes mellitus. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects ... -
Streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats is associated with impaired metabolic availability of vitamin A (retinol).
Tuitoek, Prisca J.; Ziari, S.; Tsin, A.T.; Rajotte, R.V.; Suh, M.; Basu, T.K. (The British Journal of Nutrition, 1996-04)Using streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats, studies were carried out to examine the metabolic availability of vitamin A in the plasma, liver and the retina of the eye. Control and diabetic rats were fed ad lib. on ... -
Streptozotocin-induced diabetes lowers retinol-binding protein and transthyretin concentrations in rats.
Tuitoek, Prisca J.; Ritter, S.J.; Smith, J.E.; Basu, T.K. (The British Journal of Nutrition, 1996-12)Retinol-binding protein (RBP) and transthyretin (TTR) in the plasma, liver and kidney, retinol in plasma, and total vitamin A in the liver were measured in rats 6 weeks after diabetes mellitus had been induced by streptozotocin ...
