    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Nutrition Science
    • Metabolomics

    Background:

    • Retinoic acid (RA) is a key metabolite of vitamin A.
    • RA plays a crucial role in maintaining animal health and supporting growth.
    • Distinct functions of RA compared to other vitamin A forms are increasingly recognized.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the unique characteristics of retinoic acid (RA) as a vitamin A metabolite.
    • To differentiate RA's functions and properties from other forms of vitamin A.
    • To highlight RA's distinct metabolic and physiological profile.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of vitamin A metabolites.
    • Review of biochemical and physiological studies on RA.
    • Examination of pharmacokinetic and toxicological data for RA and analogs.

    Main Results:

    • Retinoic acid (RA) is confirmed as a normal metabolite of vitamin A.
    • RA supports general health and growth but is not involved in visual or reproductive functions.
    • Significant differences exist between RA and other vitamin A forms in absorption, transport, metabolism, storage, turnover, biochemical functions, excretion, pharmacology, and toxicology.

    Conclusions:

    • Retinoic acid (RA) possesses a unique biological profile separate from other vitamin A forms.
    • Understanding RA's distinct properties is crucial for nutritional and pharmacological applications.
    • Further research into RA's specific pathways and functions is warranted.
