Background:

Retinyl glucoside is a lipid glucoside and metabolite of Vitamin A [2] [3]. Glycosylation of vitamins exert various nutritional and metabolic effects [1].
As a product of in vitro enzymatic glycosylation, retinyl glucoside was hydrolyzed by two mammalian broad specificity β-glucosidases, the cytosolic and membrane-associated β-glucosidases of guinea pig liver [1] [2].
In vitamin A-deficient rats, retinyl β-glucose exhibited 67-100% of the growth-promoting, and was quickly hydrolyzed to retinol in metabolic studies [3].
