Regulatory Effects of Vitamin A on Lipid Metabolism of Animals and Its Mechanism
Vitamin A is a key regulator influencing lipid metabolism in animal tissues. This review summarized the roles and probable regulatory mechanism of lipid metabolism regulated by vitamin A, which involves in gene expressions and signaling pathway related to lipid metabolism, adipocytes amount, secretory function of adipocytes and the role in epigenetic regulation, with the aim of providing theoretical basis for further study on the mechanism of effects of vitamin A on animal lipid metabolism, and regulating animal lipid metabolism by vitamin A.
