For example, it has been reported that retinoic acid (RA) reduces plaque formation in an atherosclerosis prone mouse model (40), and here, we observed an upregulation of RA receptors (RARB) and two RA receptor responsive genes (DHRS3 and RARRES1) (41) following abrogation of AMPA receptor signaling. Here, DHRS3 is linked to atherosclerosis.
