Reduced NCOR2 expression accelerates androgen deprivation therapy failure in prostate cancer

Gerard Llimos Aubach

This study addresses the roles of nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) in prostate cancer (PC) progression in response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Reduced NCOR2 expression significantly associates with shorter disease-free survival in patients ...

Maternal glucose homeostasis is impaired in mouse models of gestational cholestasis

Kristina Schoonjans

Women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a disorder characterised by raised serum bile acids, are at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus and have impaired glucose tolerance whilst cholestatic. FXR and TGR5 are modulato ...

Patient respiratory-triggered quantitative T-2 mapping in the pancreas

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Reto Meuli, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

Background Long acquisition times and motion sensitivity limit T-2 mapping in the abdomen. Accelerated mapping at 3 T may allow for quantitative assessment of diffuse pancreatic disease in patients during free-breathing. Purpose To test the feasibility of ...

Vitamin E and Vitamin E Acetate Absorption from Self-assembly Systems under Pancreas Insufficiency Conditions

Martin Kussmann

We determined the bioavailability of vitamin E from self-assembly structures in patients with diagnosed chronic pancreas insufficiency. Vitamin E solubilized in dispersed inverted bicontinuous cubic phase and in micellar formulation was delivered directly ...

Double-balloon jejunal perfusion to compare absorption of vitamin E and vitamin E acetate in healthy volunteers under maldigestion conditions

Martin Kussmann, Krisztina Nagy

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The vitamin E derivative, alpha-tocopheryl acetate, is often included in formulations used in enteral nutrition. In this respect, we compared alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopheryl acetate absorption under 'maldigestion' conditions, s ...

Novel potent and selective bile acid derivatives as TGR5 agonists: biological screening, structure-activity relationships, and molecular modeling studies

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

TGR5, a metabotropic receptor that is G-protein-coupled to the induction of adenylate cyclase, has been recognized as the molecular link connecting bile acids to the control of energy and glucose homeostasis. With the aim of disclosing novel selective modu ...

Acyl-CoA synthetase mRNA expression is controlled by fibric-acid derivatives, feeding and liver proliferation

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

Several enzymes of the beta-oxidation pathway have been shown to be induced after stimulation with peroxisomal proliferators, including several hypolipidemic drugs. We investigated the regulation of the long-chain-acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) gene in the live ...

Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase gene expression is regulated in a tissue-selective manner by fibrates

Johan Auwerx

Plasma lipoprotein metabolism is influenced by several factors that may act by regulating the expression of proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism, such as lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). We determined the influence of several hormones an ...
