Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors that can be activated by fatty acids and peroxisome proliferators. The PPAR alpha subtype mediates the pleiotropic effects of these activators in liver and regulates several ...
The stereoselectivity of the SCOOPY reaction, in which allyl alc. derivs. are prepd. by reaction of betaine ylides with carbonyl compds., was investigated by the synthesis of 1-hydroxy-2-octene (I), and 1-hydroxymethyl-2-octene (II) from Ph3P+-CH2 and Ph3P ...
4-Vinyl pyridine was grafted to the surface of the cellulosic membrane Cuprophan, and subsequently alkylated with both non-fatty acid-like C10 (GVP-C10) and fatty acid-like C16 (GVP-C16) aliphatic chains. In vitro albumin adsorption studies from single and ...
Epidemiological and transgenic animal studies have implicated apo C-III as a major determinant of plasma triglyceride metabolism. Since fibrates are very efficient in lowering triglycerides, it was investigated whether fibrates regulate apo C-III gene expr ...
The long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase (ACS) gene gives rise to three transcripts containing different first exons preceded by specific regulatory regions A, B, and C. Exon-specific oligonucleotide hybridization indicated that only A-ACS mRNA is express ...
A regulatory volume decrease is accomplished by parallel activation of Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channels and Ca(2+)-independent Cl- channels in cultured human intestinal epithelial cells (Intestine 407). The anion selectivity of whole-cell currents recorded in ...
Arachidonic acid (AA) has recently been shown to influence various cellular functions in the central nervous system. Here we report that AA increases, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, 2-deoxy-D-[1-3H]glucose ([3H]2DG) uptake in primary cultur ...
A group of receptors termed peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR), belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor supergene family, might be crucial in explaining how a diverse group of apparently unrelated chemicals induce peroxisomal proliferatio ...
In view of the evidence linking plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels to a protective effect against coronary artery disease and the widespread use of fibrates in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, the goal of this study was to analyze the ...
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) promotes glycogenolysis in primary cultures of mouse cerebral cortical astrocytes with an EC50 of 1.5 microM. A pharmacological analysis indicates an involvement of purinergic P2Y receptors in this action of ATP. Application of ...
