Suboptimal plasma retinol concentrations have been documented in US children with sickle cell disease (SCD) hemoglobin SS type (SCD-HbSS), but little is known about vitamin A kinetics and stores in SCD.
The objectives were to quantify vitamin A total body stores (TBS) and whole-body retinol kinetics in young people with SCD-HbSS and use retinol isotope dilution (RID) to predict TBS in SCD-HbSS and healthy peers as well as after vitamin A supplementation in SCD-HbSS subjects.
Composite plasma [C]retinol response data collected from 22 subjects with SCD-HbSS for 28 d after isotope ingestion were analyzed using population-based compartmental modeling ("super-subject" approach); TBS and retinol kinetics were quantified for the group. TBS was also calculated for the same individuals using RID, as well as for healthy peers (n = 20) and for the subjects with SCD-HbSS after 8 wk of daily vitamin A supplements (3.15 or 6.29 μmol retinol/d [900 or 1800 μg retinol activity equivalents/d]).
Model-predicted group mean TBS for subjects with SCD-HbSS was 428 μmol, equivalent to ∼11 mo of stored vitamin A; vitamin A disposal rate was 1.3 μmol/d. Model-predicted TBS was similar to that predicted by RID at 3 d postdosing (mean, 389 μmol; ∼0.3 μmol/g liver); TBS predictions at 3 compared with 28 d were not significantly different. Mean TBS in healthy peers was similar (406 μmol). RID-predicted TBS for subjects with SCD-HbSS was not significantly affected by vitamin A supplementation at either dose.
Despite differences in plasma retinol concentrations, TBS was the same in subjects with SCD-HbSS compared with healthy peers. Because 56 d of vitamin A supplementation at levels 1.2 to 2.6 times the Recommended Dietary Allowance did not increase TBS in these subjects with SCD-HbSS, further work will be needed to understand the effects of SCD on retinol metabolism. This trial was registered as NCT03632876 at clinicaltrials.gov.
已在患有镰状细胞病(SCD)血红蛋白 SS 型(SCD-HbSS)的美国儿童中发现血浆视黄醇浓度不理想,但对于 SCD 中的维生素 A 动力学和储存知之甚少。
本研究的目的是定量研究 SCD-HbSS 青少年的维生素 A 全身总储存量(TBS)和全身视黄醇动力学,并使用视黄醇同位素稀释(RID)来预测 SCD-HbSS 和健康同龄人的 TBS 以及 SCD-HbSS 受试者接受维生素 A 补充后的 TBS。
对 22 例 SCD-HbSS 患者在同位素摄入后 28 天内的复合血浆 [C]视黄醇反应数据进行基于群体的房室模型分析(“超级受试者”方法);对该组进行 TBS 和视黄醇动力学的定量分析。还使用 RID 为相同个体计算 TBS,以及为健康同龄人(n=20)和 SCD-HbSS 患者在 8 周的每日维生素 A 补充后(3.15 或 6.29 μmol 视黄醇/天[900 或 1800 μg 视黄醇活性当量/天])计算 TBS。
模型预测 SCD-HbSS 患者的组平均 TBS 为 428 μmol,相当于约 11 个月的储存维生素 A;维生素 A 清除率为 1.3 μmol/d。在 3 天(平均 389 μmol,≈0.3 μmol/g 肝脏)和 28 天(平均 389 μmol,≈0.3 μmol/g 肝脏)的 RID 预测 TBS 与模型预测 TBS 相似,两者之间无显著差异。健康同龄人的平均 TBS 相似(406 μmol)。RID 预测的 SCD-HbSS 患者的 TBS 剂量在两种剂量下均不受维生素 A 补充的影响。
尽管血浆视黄醇浓度存在差异,但 SCD-HbSS 患者的 TBS 与健康同龄人相似。由于 SCD-HbSS 患者 56 天的维生素 A 补充水平为推荐膳食允许量的 1.2 至 2.6 倍,并未增加 TBS,因此需要进一步研究以了解 SCD 对视黄醇代谢的影响。该试验在 clinicaltrials.gov 上注册为 NCT03632876。
