Molecular and cellular networks implicated in aging depend on a multitude of proteins that collectively mount adaptive and contingent metabolic responses to environmental challenges. Here, we discuss the intimate links between metabolic regulation and long ...
Recently the function of the sirtuin family, named after their homology to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene silent information regulator 2 (Sir2), has received a lot of attention, as their beneficial impact on longevity was linked to their effects on meta ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is predicted to subsist on alternative carbon sources during persistence within the human host. Catabolism of odd- and branched-chain fatty acids, branched-chain amino acids, and cholesterol generates propionyl-coenzyme A (CoA) a ...
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 ...
Thermodynamic feasibility analysis (TFA) has been used as a toot capable of providing additional constraints to the mass balance-based methods of analysis of Metabolic networks (e.g., flux balance analysis). Several publications have recently appeared in w ...
Lacteals are the entry point of all dietary lipids into the circulation, yet little is known about the active regulation of lipid uptake by these lymphatic vessels, and there lacks in vitro models to study the lacteal-enterocyte interface. We describe an i ...
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic fuel gauge conserved along the evolutionary scale in eukaryotes that senses changes in the intracellular AMP/ATP ratio. Recent evidence indicated an important role for AMPK in the therapeutic benefits of m ...
ABSTRACT A new form of metabolic flux analysis (MFA) called thermodynamics-based metabolic flux analysis (TMFA) is introduced with the capability of generating thermodynamically feasible flux and metabolite activity profiles on a genome scale. TMFA involve ...
The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein LRP1 is a cell surface receptor with functions in diverse physiological pathways, including lipid metabolism. Here we show that LRP1-deficient fibroblasts accumulate high levels of intracellular choleste ...
Simultaneous nitrification-denitrification has been observed in aerobic granular sludge sequencing batch bubble column reactors fed with either acetate or propionate with elimination rates of up to 60-70%. Several in-situ tests under anoxic conditions were ...
