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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
(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 ...
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 ...
Fish oil polyunsaturated fatty acids and fibrate hypolipidemic drugs are potent hypotriglyceridemic agents that act by increasing fatty acid catabolism and decreasing triglyceride synthesis and secretion by the liver. A major unresolved issue is whether th ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
