Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a generic term for a large number of related compounds. Retinol (an alcohol) and retinal (an aldehyde) are often referred to as preformed vitamin A. Retinal can be converted by the body to retinoic acid, the form of vitamin A known to affect gene transcription. Retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and related compounds are known as retinoids. Beta-carotene and other carotenoids that can be converted by the body into retinol are referred to as provitamin A carotenoids. Hundreds of different carotenoids are synthesised by plants, but only about 10 % of them are provitamin A carotenoids. This book presents important new research in the field.

The papers are presented in mini-review style, so that the volume has assumed the form of an advanced guidebook for specialists. The pathophysiology of lipid peroxides and related free radicals is now recognized to be one of the most important issues in the pathogenesis of many diseases. This volume covers diverse topics such as retinal pathology, digestive diseases, antioxidant defence and cancer chemotherapy, as well as more abstract topics related to lipid peroxides and free radicals. The papers collected in this book will contribute much to the improvement of medical sciences, especially to that of clinical medicine, the main goal of which is human welfare.
