Retinoid metabolism in the small intestine during development of liver cirrhosis

Background and Aims:  Retinoids are important mediators of cellular differentiation and proliferation in various epithelia of the body including the small intestine. Though alterations in intestinal epithelial cell proliferation have been noted in liver cirrhosis, mechanisms involved in the process are not well understood. This study examined the levels of various retinoids and retinoid‐metabolizing enzymes in the small intestine during development of liver cirrhosis.
