NCoR Repression of LXRs Restricts Macrophage Biosynthesis of Insulin-Sensitizing Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Macrophage-mediated inflammation is a major contributor to obesity-associated insulin resistance. The corepressor NCoR interacts with inflammatory pathway genes in macrophages, suggesting that its removal would result in increased activity of inflammatory ...

Resistance to Diet-Induced Obesity and Associated Metabolic Perturbations in Haploinsufficient Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 Mice

Pierre Magistretti, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Luc Pellerin

The monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1 or SLC16A1) is a carrier of short-chain fatty acids, ketone bodies, and lactate in several tissues. Genetically modified C57BL/6J mice were produced by targeted disruption of the mct1 gene in order to understand the ...

A comprehensive reconstruction of the fatty acid biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Georgios Savoglidis, Iro Oikonomidi

The role of lipids in eukaryotic cells is of high importance. They are one of the main components of cell membranes, act as storage of high potential energy as well as being a scaffold of signaling proteins or participate in signaling themselves. Many dise ...

Observation of New Resonant Structures in gamma gamma -> omega phi, phi phi, and omega omega

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Jun Yong Kim, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot, Ji Hyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Jing Li, Xuan Li

The processes gamma gamma -> omega phi,phi phi, and omega omega are measured using an 870 fb(-1) data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. Production of vector meson pairs is clearly observed and their c ...

Dual Representation Of Monotone Convex Functions On L-0

Gregor Svindland

We study monotone convex functions psi : L-0 (Omega, F, P) -> (-infinity, infinity] and derive a dual representation as well as conditions that ensure the existence of a sigma-additive subgradient. The results are motivated by applications in economic agen ...

Lower Bounds on the Area Requirements of Series-Parallel Graphs

Fabrizio Frati

We show that there exist series-parallel graphs requiring Omega(n2(root log n)) area in any straight-line or poly-line grid drawing. Such a result is achieved in two steps. First, we show that, in any straight-line or poly-line drawing of K-2,K-n, one side ...

Survey of volatile oxylipins and their biosynthetic precursors in bryophytes

Emmanuel Croisier

Oxylipins are metabolites which are derived from the oxidative fragmentation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These metabolites play central roles in plant hormonal regulation and defense. Here we survey the production of volatile oxylipins in bryophytes an ...

Culture conditions affect fatty acid content along with wound-activated production of polyunsaturated aldehydes in Thalassiosira rotula (Coscinodiscophyceae)

The nutritional value of diatoms for grazers has been frequently addressed in experiments. However, little is known about the effects of culture conditions on the quality of algae as food for higher trophic levels. We examined the fatty acid composition of ...
