Direct noninvasive estimation of myocardial tricarboxylic acid cycle flux in vivo using hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance

Rolf Gruetter, Tian Cheng, Arnaud Comment, Hongxia Lei, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

BACKGROUND: The heart relies on continuous energy production and imbalances herein impair cardiac function directly. The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is the primary means of energy generation in the healthy myocardium, but direct noninvasive quantificati ...

Genome analysis of Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii reveals a physiological similarity with Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani

Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii is a moderately thermophilic member of the polyphyletic spore-forming genus Desulfotomaculum in the family Peptococcaceae. This species is of interest because it originates from deep subsurface thermal mineral water at a depth ...

In vivo metabolic studies in skeletal and cardiac muscle using ¹³C magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

Cardiac and skeletal muscle function relies on a continuous energy production via fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial oxidation of pyruvate, with a fine balance between substrate delivery and utilization. Changes in metabolism are increasingly being im ...

In vivo enzymatic activity of acetylCoA synthetase in skeletal muscle revealed by (13)C turnover from hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]acetate to [1-(13)C]acetylcarnitine

Rolf Gruetter, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Tian Cheng, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Arnaud Comment

BACKGROUND: Acetate metabolism in skeletal muscle is regulated by acetylCoA synthetase (ACS). The main function of ACS is to provide cells with acetylCoA, a key molecule for numerous metabolic pathways including fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis and the ...

Cerebral extracellular lactate increase is predominantly nonischemic in patients with severe traumatic brain injury

Pierre Magistretti, Jocelyne Bloch, Reto Meuli

Growing evidence suggests that endogenous lactate is an important substrate for neurons. This study aimed to examine cerebral lactate metabolism and its relationship with brain perfusion in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). A prospective c ...

Mathematical Modeling of Brain Energy Metabolism, Measured with PET and MRS in Rodents

Bernard Lanz

Positron emission tomography (PET) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are two biomedical measurement techniques developed in the end of the XXth century, which drastically improved the amount of accessible information available in vivo. PET ...

Structural Role of RKS Motifs in Chromatin Interactions: A Molecular Dynamics Study of HP1 Bound to a Variably Modified Histone Tail

Efthimios Kaxiras

The current understanding of epigenetic signaling assigns a central role to post-translational modifications that occur in the histone tails. In this context, it has been proposed that methylation of K9 and phosphorylation of S10 in the tail of histone H3 ...

Reversible acetylation of PGC-1: connecting energy sensors and effectors to guarantee metabolic flexibility

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Ellen Helena Jeninga

rganisms adapt their metabolism to meet ever changing environmental conditions. This metabolic adaptation involves at a cellular level the fine tuning of mitochondrial function, which is mainly under the control of the transcriptional co-activator prolifer ...

A new method for protein labeling with small molecules based on acyl carrier protein

Nathalie George

A new method for the covalent and specific labeling of fusion proteins of carrier proteins (CPs) with small organic molecules has been developed in this work. This technology combines the convenience of expressing genetically tagged reporter proteins with ...

Lipoxygenase-mediated metabolism of storage lipids in germinating sunflower cotyledons and b-oxidation of (9Z,11E,13S)-13-hydroxy-octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid by the cotyledonary glyoxysomes

Institut fur Botanik, Universitat Munster, Schlossgarten 3, 48149, Munster, Germany. During the early stages of germination, a lipid-body lipoxygenase is expressed in the cotyledons of sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.). In order to obtain evidence for the ...
