Neurochemical Modifications in the Hippocampus, Cortex and Hypothalamus of Mice Exposed to Long-Term High-Fat Diet

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

Metabolic syndrome and diabetes impact brain function and metabolism. While it is well established that rodents exposed to diets rich in saturated fat develop brain dysfunction, contrasting results abound in the literature, likely as result of exposure to ...

Mitochondrial Post-translational Modifications and Metabolic Control: Sirtuins and Beyond

Carlos Canto Alvarez

Introduction: In order to maintain metabolic homeostasis, organisms adjust the capacity and efficiency of ATP generation to changes in energetic demand and supply. While the transcriptional control of mitochondrial biogenesis allows to adapt mitochondrial ...

Gender-specific alteration of energy balance and circadian locomotor activity in the Crtc1 knockout mouse model of depression

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Marie Petit, Benjamin Boutrel, Jean-René Cardinaux, Daniel Sciarra

Obesity and depression are major public health concerns, and there is increasing evidence that they share etiological mechanisms. CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) participates in neurobiological pathways involved in both mood and energy b ...

How Energy Metabolism Supports Cerebral Function: Insights from 13C Magnetic Resonance Studies In vivo

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

Cerebral function is associated with exceptionally high metabolic activity, and requires continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients from the blood stream. Since the mid-20th century the idea that brain energy metabolism is coupled to neuronal activity has e ...

Refined Analysis of Brain Energy Metabolism Using In Vivo Dynamic Enrichment of 13C Multiplets

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz, Nicolas Kunz, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Masoumeh Dehghani Moghadam

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in combination with the infusion of (13)C-labeled precursors is a unique approach to study in vivo brain energy metabolism. Incorporating the maximum information available from in vivo localized (13)C spect ...

Deciphering the astrocyte-neuron metabolic cooperation in vivo

Manuel Raphael Zenger

Brain energy consumption is high and a very tightly regulated energy metabolism ensures correct performance. Neurons, the cells responsible for transmitting information via synapses, interact very closely with star shaped glial cells called astrocytes. Ast ...

Conversion of chitin derived N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) into polyols over transition metal catalysts and hydrogen in water

Felix Daniel Bobbink, Ning Yan, Xi Chen

N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG), the monomer of the world's second most abundant biopolymer chitin, has been for the first time converted to its corresponding amide/amino substituted sugar alcohols, smaller C2-4 polyols and N-acetylmonoethanolamine (NMEA), ov ...
