A general elasto-plastic model for partially saturated soils is proposed, based on the disturbed state concept (DSC). This model is unified and simplified, includes both saturated and unsaturated states and is able to capture some typical features of parti ...
PPARgamma is a member of the PPAR subfamily of nuclear receptors. In this work, the structure of the human PPARgamma cDNA and gene was determined, and its promoters and tissue-specific expression were functionally characterized. Similar to the mouse, two P ...
The three types of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), termed alpha, delta (or beta), and gamma, belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily. Although peroxisome proliferators, including fibrates and fatty acids, activate the transcriptional ...
Ocular tissues are highly dependent on lipid turnover and metabolism, which requires an uptake mechanism for fatty acids from lipoproteins. We studied the activity and expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of plasma triglyc ...
Considering the link between plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and a protective effect against coronary artery disease as well as the suggested beneficial effects of retinoids on the production of the major HDL apolipoprotein (apo), ...
The three types of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR), alpha, beta (or delta), and gamma, each with a specific tissue distribution, compose a subfamily of the nuclear hormone receptor gene family. Although peroxisome proliferators, including ...
The development of atherosclerosis is often associated with altered concentrations of systemic lipoproteins, which are determined by the concentration and/or activity of three groups of different proteins, i.e. apolipoproteins (apo), enzymes, and receptors ...
(w - 1)-Fluoroalk-(w - 1)-enoic acids of chain lengths C5-C15 were prepd. by consecutive bromofluorination and dehydrobromination of either alk-(w - 1)-enoic acids or alk-(w - 1)-enyl acetates, in the latter case followed by oxidn. The halogen increases th ...
We examined the expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene and LPL activity following a two-thirds hepatectomy and during liver regeneration. In most of the tissues studied, LPL activity increased a few hours after partial hepatectomy, but soon returned t ...
Increased activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) may explain the hypotriglyceridemic effects of fibrates, thiazolidinediones and fatty acids, which are known activators (and/or ligands) of the various peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Trea ...
