Retinol(All Trans)
Application Notes
Retinol is an effective antioxidant displaying lipoperoxy radical scavenging activity. The interactions between Retinol and Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) in suppressing lipid peroxidation were observed in bovine retinal membrane preparations. It may influence the production of transition vesicles by stimulating the activity of a protein disulfide isomeraselike activity involved in vesicle formation. Retinol (10 µM) stimulated DNA synthesis and possibly repair mechanisms in Sertoli cells of rat.
