Changes in lipid metabolism during retinoid administration

L E Gerber, J W Erdman

    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
    |April 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Oral vitamin A and retinoids significantly alter lipid metabolism, causing hypertriglyceridemia. This increase in serum triglycerides, mainly in very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), is observed in both humans and animals.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Oral vitamin A and synthetic retinoids impact lipid metabolism.
    • Observed changes affect serum, liver, and skin lipids.
    • Skin lipid alterations are linked to sebum production changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Investigate the effects of vitamin A and retinoids on lipid metabolism.
    • Identify the primary mechanisms behind retinoid-induced hypertriglyceridemia.
    • Explore the causes of systemic lipid changes.

    Main Methods:

    • Administration of oral vitamin A and retinoids to humans and experimental animals (rats).
    • Analysis of serum, liver, and skin lipid profiles.
    • Assessment of triglyceride levels and lipoprotein fractions (VLDL).

    Main Results:

    • Hypertriglyceridemia is the most prominent effect observed.
    • Increased serum triglycerides are primarily in the very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction.
    • In rats, elevated triglycerides may result from increased liver secretion and decreased extrahepatic breakdown.

    Conclusions:

    • Vitamin A and retinoid administration induces significant changes in lipid metabolism, notably hypertriglyceridemia.
    • The precise causes of serum and liver lipid changes require further investigation.
    • Ongoing research focuses on the primary mechanisms driving these systemic lipid alterations.
