Abstract

Due to vigorous metabolism, animals produce a plenty of arachidonic acid(ARA) and nitric oxide(NO), which leads to the occurrence of oxidative stress, and gives rise to cell toxicity and damage. Vitamin A can effectively regulate ARA and NO production, and plays an important role on improve antioxidant and immune function of body. This paper reviewed the regulation of ARA and NO synthesis by vitamin A and its underlying mechanisms for the purpose of providing some theoretical and practical evidence for further studies on the regulative mechanisms and vitamin A supplementation technique in the future.
