中文摘要:维生素A类物质包括视黄醇（维生素A）、视黄醛和视黄酸等，自1913年被发现以来，已被证明在动物发育、生殖和免疫等方面发挥着积极作用，可以调控细胞增殖、器官发育、生长繁殖和视觉感受等。该文在总结维生素A类物质吸收及转化过程的基础上，对维生素A类物质在昆虫视觉形成、生长发育和行为调节等方面的作用进行综述，目前对维生素A类物质在昆虫中的作用研究相对较少，根据模式动物（哺乳动物）中的相关报道对维生素A类物质在昆虫发育、免疫调节、神经元可塑性和行为认知等方面的潜在功能进行展望，以期为昆虫维生素A类物质的研究提供借鉴和参考。

Abstract:Vitamin A substances include retinol (vitamin A), retinol, and retinoic acid. Since their discovery in 1913, they have been proven to play a positive role in animal development, reproduction, and immunity. These substances regulate cell proliferation, organ development, growth and reproduction, and visual perception. This article summarizes the absorption and transformation processes of vitamin A and reviews its role in visual formation, growth and behavioral regulation in insects. At present, there is relatively little research on vitamin A substances in insects. Mainly based on relevant reports in model animals (mammals), the article explores the potential functions of vitamin A substances in insect development, immune regulation, neuronal plasticity, and behavioral cognition. This work aims to provide reference and guidance for future research on vitamin A substances in insects.
