Influence of iron on vitamin A nutritional status

Julicristie M Oliveira et al. Nutr Rev. 2008 Mar.

Abstract

Iron deficiency seems to deteriorate vitamin A metabolism leading to a reduction in serum retinol and an increase in hepatic retinol and retinyl ester. These alterations probably result from an increase in retinol sequestration to the liver and/or impairment in the activity of hepatic retinyl ester hydrolases decreasing vitamin A mobilization.
