1 LAB 9: Vitamin A Assessment 2014 Facts and Definitions Vitamin A - generic term for all related naturally occurring compounds that qualitatively exhibit some degree of biological activity of all-trans Retinol Retinoids any compound (naturally occurring or synthetic analog), that exhibits vitamin A activity. Food sources: pre-formed vitamin A - found only in foods of animal origin (e.g. retinol and retinyl esters). pro-vitamin A forms - can be metabolically converted into retinol by the body. Found in some plants and to a limited extent in some animal products (e.g. β-carotene and a few other carotenoids). other sources: synthetic analog forms retinoid-based drugs e.g. Accutane, (used in the treatment of cystic acne); Etretinate and Tigason, (used in the treatment of psoriasis and other dermatologic conditions). Principle forms of vitamin A found in the body: (1) Retinol (the alcohol form) most abundant form in the circulation. (2) Retinyl esters (in multiple forms) serve as the main storage form of the vitamin (3) Retinoic acid (the active form) serve as a hormone involved in gene regulation Tissue distribution of principle forms: Liver - (normally > 85% of body total). Majority as retinyl esters. Extrahepatic tissues (particularly fat typically 8-12% of body total). Almost all as retinyl esters. Plasma/Serum - ~1% of the body s vitamin A total. Retinol as major form with other minor forms Dietary Vitamin A and Retinol Equivalents Amount / Form Consumed Retinol Activity Equivalence (RAE) 1 µg Retinol (Dietary or in a Supplement) = 1 µg RAE 1 µg Retinyl Ester (Dietary or in a Supplement) = 1 µg RAE 2 µg β-carotene (in a Supplement) = 1 µg RAE 12 µg β-carotene (Dietary) = 1 µg RAE 24 µg α-carotene (Dietary) = 1 µg RAE 24 µg β-cryptoxanthin (Dietary) = 1 µg RAE u NOTE - Of the over 600 carotenoids and related xanthophylls found in nature, < 60 have any vitamin A activity at all. [Although some can be absorbed and enzymatically converted to retinol, the process is so inefficient that they would have an equivalence ratio > 100 µg (some > 500 µg) = 1 µg RAE a quantity that may be impossible to consume in the context of a diet]. u There is also relatively sparse data with respect to changes (particularly losses) that occur as a result of ripening, storage and cooking of vitamin A-containing food sources. u Synthetic, therapeutic retinoids (e.g. Accutane, Tigason, Etretin and Etretinate) possess varying degrees of specific vitamin A activity (related to gene regulation) thus making them highly effective for dermatologic and other conditions. But, these therapeutic forms typically do not have any activity in vision or some of the other classic vitamin A functions. And, while neither a dietary component nor a supplement, these retinoids will affect how endogenous vitamin A forms are stored, metabolized and transported. Main targets for vitamin A assessment : (1) EYE as a target tissue (examining both functional and histological signs) (2) PLASMA / SERUM as surrogate biomarker for stores and homeostatic regulation (conc. & metabolites) (3) DIET - sources, quantities and bioavailability
2 LAB 9: Vitamin A Assessment 2014 Progression of Vitamin A Deficiency and Status Indicators u A progressive series of eye-related effects can be observed as an individual progresses from normal to marginal to depleted and ultimately deficient status. These effects have been correlated to levels in the body. Vit. A STORES PLASMA LEVELS BIOCHEMICAL EFFECTS HISTOLOGICAL EFFECTS Adequate Adequate None = Normal Vision None = Normal Histology ( > 0.1 µm) ( > 1.05 µm) [ µmol/g Liver ] [ µm] ( no evidence of functional deficit ) [~ ng/ml] Marginal g Depleted Marginal g Depleted Impaired Dark Adaptation None = Normal Histology (0.1 g 0.07 µmol /g Liver) (0.7 g 0.35 µm) g g Night Blindness g g abnormal* [~ ng/ml] *(up to 10% of individuals may even exhibit Bitot s spots) Depleted g Deficient Depleted g Deficient worsening vision Bitot s Spots g Xerosis g (< 0.07 µmol /g Liver) ( < 0.35 µm) g Keratomalacia g Blindness [<100 ng/ml] (>85% of individuals display Xerophthalmia) u Xerophthalmia - clinical term for the dry eye and accompanying histopathologic ocular effects on the eye, which range from Bitot's spots (an early / mild sign) to conjunctival and corneal xerosis (intermediate to later sign) and eventually keratomalacia (late/severe). u NOTE - The length of time it takes to develop these signs is a function of body reserves, intake and an individual s body needs. With adequate reserves, an individual may remain symptom free for many months in spite of meager intake. If, on the other hand, reserves are very low, the onset and progression to severe symptoms can occur very rapidly (within a few weeks) once dietary intake becomes low or ceases. u Excess and Toxicity can also be an issue Liver Retinol conc. plasma/serum Retinol conc. Associated / correlated with > 1.1 µmol/g Liver > 3.0 µmol/l (µm) Excess / Toxicity Vitamin A Homeostasis and RDR tests An issue when evaluating plasma/serum vitamin A is that with adequate stores, the circulating level is homeostatically controlled and is thus relatively constant over a wide range of intakes. This occurs because the liver adjusts to changes in intake by either putting more into storage (esterifying Retinol by adding a fatty acid residue g g retinyl esters) when intake exceeds body needs, or mobilizing retinol from storage (removing the fatty acid group, thus regenerating retinol) into the circulation for transport to tissues during times of need. Because of the liver s dominant role as a vitamin A storage organ, determining liver levels would be the ideal way to assess vitamin A status if getting a liver sample was an option. The Relative Dose Response (RDR) test uses plasma/serum retinol in a manner that has proven to be reliable as a surrogate for assessing liver vitamin A stores and identify individuals with marginal to severe vitamin A deficiency. In the RDR test, an initial, baseline fasting blood sample is taken first, and then immediately followed by administration of a small oral dose of vitamin A. Next, a small, high fat snack is given to ensure and facilitate rapid vitamin A absorption. If an absorption problem is suspected, the vit. A dose can be administered I.V. After 5 hours, a second blood sample is obtained. The concentration of plasma/serum retinol is determined in the before (0 hr.) and after (5 hr) samples.
3 LAB 9: Vitamin A Assessment 2014 Relative Dose-Response (RDR) [%] = Plasma 5 hr. - Plasma 0 hr. x 100 Plasma 5 hr. Normal (vitamin A adequate) = 0-14 % Mild to Severe deficiency = 20 % Marginal status* = % * NOTE - the range of 15-19% is a gray area that usually indicates Marginal status (and thus could be indicative of early or impending deficiency). However, there are instances when normal (adequate) individuals fall in this range. Thus, individuals identified as having marginal status should be retested. Modified Relative Dose Response Test The Modified Relative Dose Response (MRDR) is simpler and less burdensome to subjects because it requires only 1 blood sample. For the MRDR test, a small test dose is administered (as in the RDR test) except that the retinoid used is 3,4-didehydroretinyl acetate (ddract). This didehydro- compound is naturally occurring (originally obtained from certain fresh water fish), but not typically found in humans to an appreciable extent. Following absorption, the ddract is metabolized to 3,4-didehydroretinol (ddroh). Because ddroh is highly similar to the retinol (ROH) endogenously found in humans, it is transported and metabolized identically. Thus, after a 4-6 hr period following ddract administration, a single blood sample is taken. The sample is processed and analyzed as in the standard RDR test, except that both retinol (ROH) and ddroh are measured. The ratio of [ddroh]:[roh] is a measure of the the body s response. Vitamin A Status MRDR = Ratio (µm ddroh : µm ROH) Adequate <.03 Marginal status Deficiency >.06 * NOTE - 3,4-didehydroretinyl acetate (ddract) is not typically found in humans except in situations where the diet includes high consumption of specific fresh water fish that contain high levels of didehydro- retinoids. Thus, the MRDR should not be used if the individual or population is known to have recently consumed didehydroretinyl-rich fish. If such consumption is not taken into account, the ratio could be significantly affected because of the already elevated levels of ddroh in the circulation (resulting in a ratio >.06) and misidentification of individuals as deficient. Factors affecting Vitamin A levels or homeostasis Factors or situations => DECREASE in Serum / Plasma Retinol (1) Infection (2) Chronic Inflammatory conditions (3) Iron deficiency (sometimes) (4) Zinc deficiency (5) Protein Energy Malnutrition (6) Therapeutic retinoids (7) Liver disease (including alcoholic cirrhosis) Factors or situations => INCREASE in Serum / Plasma Retinol (1) Renal disease (2) Estrogens (as treatments) u NOTE - these factors can impact RDR results, and thus should be taken into account in RDR interpretation. Vitamin A Measurement Utilizes HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), wherein the various vitamin A forms/metabolites can be separated and quantitated individually. Plasma retinol reflects vitamin A status only when body stores are severely depleted or are very high. Issues with this methodology include the chemical nature of the retinoids themselves. Vitamin A and its metabolites (particularly Retinol and Retinoic acid) are very sensitive to oxidation and destruction by light and heat. Failure to adequately protect samples from heat and light during collection, transport, storage and processing can lead to significant errors in their measurement.
