Consequences of Exchanging Carbohydrates for Proteins in the Cholesterol Metabolism of Mice Fed a High-fat Diet

Sylviane Métairon, Martin Kussmann, Mireille Moser

Consumption of low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diets lead to rapid weight loss but the cardioprotective effects of these diets have been questioned. We examined the impact of high-protein and high-fat diets on cholesterol metabolism by comparing t ...

The NAD+ Precursor Nicotinamide Riboside Enhances Oxidative Metabolism and Protects against High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Pénélope Andreux, Karl Gademann, Richardus Houtkooper, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Hiroyasu Yamamoto, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos

As NAD(+) is a rate-limiting cosubstrate for the sirtuin enzymes, its modulation is emerging as a valuable tool to regulate sirtuin function and, consequently, oxidative metabolism. In line with this premise, decreased activity of PARP-1 or CD38-both NAD(+ ...

A model of transport nonuniversality in thick-film resistors

Peter Ryser, Claudio Grimaldi, Thomas Maeder

We propose a model of transport in thick-film resistors which naturally explains the observed nonuniversal values of the conductance exponent t extracted in the vicinity of the percolation transition. Essential ingredients of the model are the segregated m ...
