| Retinoic acid is a naturally occurring derivative of vitamin A (retinol). Retinoic acid is produced in the body from dietary vitamin A. Vitamin A can be ingested in two primary forms: • Preformed vitamin A (retinol and its esters) found in animal products like liver, dairy, and fish. • Provitamin A carotenoids (such as beta-carotene) found in colorful fruits and vegetables. Once ingested, these compounds are converted into retinol, which can then be oxidized to retinal and further oxidized to retinoic acid. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a key component in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). In APL, ATRA induces the differentiation of malignant promyelocytes into mature granulocytes, leading to clinical remission. -Retinoic acid can have antioxidant properties -High levels of retinoic acid have been associated with increased ROS production and oxidative stress -The potential prooxidant action may contribute to its anti-cancer effects by inducing oxidative damage in cancer cells, thereby enhancing apoptosis. |

| ADAM10 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase Domain-Containing Protein 10) plays a critical protective role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) due to its function as an α-secretase, an enzyme involved in the non-amyloidogenic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). -By preventing Aβ accumulation, ADAM10 indirectly reduces amyloid plaques.br> -Downregulation of ADAM10 is observed in AD brains. -ADAM10 levels are especially diminished in individuals with an APOE4 genotype |
