OBJECTIVE To study the effect of iron deficiency on vitamin A (VA) metabolism in rats. METHODS Forty-four male SD rats were divided randomly into four groups according to their body weights and every group included 11 rats: control group (I group), entire iron deficient and normal VA group (II group), slight iron deficient and normal VA group (III group), slight iron and VA deficient (IV group). After being raised for 10 weeks, the rats were sacrificed and the serum VA, retinol-binding protein (RBP), hemoglobin, serum iron, serum iron saturation, VA in the liver, retinyl ester in the liver were determined. RESULTS Iron deficiency decreased serum VA and VA in the liver significantly, and increased molar ratio of hepatic retinyl esters to retinol significantly. VA deficiency decreased the level of RBP mRNA expression in the liver significantly. CONCLUSIONS Iron deficiency could affect VA nutritional status by influencing absorption, storage and transportation of VA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
