It is currently thought that the effects of PPARgamma activation on glucose homeostasis may be due to the effect of this nuclear receptor on the production of adipocyte-derived signalling molecules, which affect muscle glucose metabolism. Potential signall ...
Intracellular fatty acid (FA) concentrations are in part determined by a regulated import/export system that is controlled by two key proteins, i.e. fatty acid transport protein (FATP) and acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS), which respectively facilitate the transp ...
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 ...
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 ...
The invention relates to a nucleotide sequence which comprises a sequence involved in the expression of the human Fatty Acid Transport Protein (hFATP) comprising the aminoacid sequence of the Figure ...
Thiazolidinediones are potent antidiabetic compounds, in both animal and human models, which act by enhancing peripheral sensitivity to insulin. Thiazolidinediones are high-affinity ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma, a key factor ...
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 ...
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 regulation by fibrates and dietary fatty acids of the hepatic gene expression of apolipoproteins (apo) A-I and A-II, the major protein constituents of high-density lipoproteins, as well as of acyl-CoA oxidase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the peroxisoma ...
