September 2019 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study found that the retinol dehydrogenases SDR16C5 and SDR16C6 in mice play a crucial role in skin retinol dehydrogenase activity, affecting hair growth and gland functions without impacting survival.
June 2023 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study on Sdr16c5/Sdr16c6-null mice found that inactivating these genes significantly increased Meibomian gland secretions and altered lipid profiles but had a subtle impact on sebogenesis, suggesting the genes control a bifurcation point in meibogenesis pathways.
May 2020 in “Current developments in nutrition” This study suggests that retinoic acid synthesis and signaling may play a role in maintaining refractory telogen, potentially inhibiting the hair cycle in mice fed varying levels of vitamin A.
