Essay

Cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP), nuclei, chromatin, nuclear envelope of rat liver cells. Study of CRBP role in interaction of retinol with nuclei and nuclear structures. Methods - chromatography, UV and fluorescent spectroscopy, ultracentrifugation and radioisotope methods. CRBP from bovine liver and chicken stomach have been isolated and characterized. It has been shown significant decrease of vitamin A level in rat liver under chronic intake of 137Cs. It has been established that chronic intake of 137Cs leads to decrease of specific binding of retinol-CRBP complex by nuclei or nuclear components. The data obtained seem to be important for further study of molecular mechanisms of vitamin A action. Field of application - scientific institutions of medico-biologic type.
