This paper reports the allylic bromide rearrangement of 3-bromo-3-alkenyl-azetidin-2-ones, induced by m-chloroperbenzoic acid, N-bromosuccinimide or benzoylperoxide as radical initiators. The substitution of bromide by resin supported acids, followed by hy ...
We show that mice expressing retinoid X receptor beta (RXRbeta) impaired in its transcriptional activation function AF-2 (Rxrb(af20) mutation) do not display the spermatid release defects observed in RXRbeta-null mutants, indicating that the role of RXRbet ...
OBJECTIVE: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) plays a role in adipocyte differentiation and insulin sensitization. It has been shown that genetic variation in the PPARgamma gene alters body weight control, lipid and insulin ho ...
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a major acute phase reactant and a small apolipoprotein of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in the serum. In cases of prolonged inflammation, SAA may form amyloid fibrils, leading to the disease of amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis. Recent ...
High-aspect-ratio, monocryst. Cd chloride nanowires doped with fluorescent CdS nanoparticles were synthesized using planar lipid membranes as templates. Cd2+ ions bound to the lipid bilayers (a) are released at low pH to the nanometer-sized, interlamellar ...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha is a member of a large nuclear receptor superfamily whose main role is to activate genes involved in fatty acid oxidation in the liver, heart, kidney, and skeletal muscle. While currently used mainly ...
The metabolic nuclear receptors act as metabolic and toxicological sensors, enabling the organism to quickly adapt to environmental changes by inducing the appropriate metabolic genes and pathways. Ligands for these metabolic receptors are compounds from d ...
We investigate the interrnolecular interactions in a mixed phospholipid/cholesterol monolayer using the surface-specific technique of vibrational sum frequency generation. This technique allows us to monitor the conformational and orientational order in th ...
Current treatment for atherosclerotic heart disease consists mainly of the administration of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors or 'statin' class of drugs. Statins, which lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels an ...
Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by lipid accumulation in the vascular wall leading to myocardial infarction or stroke. Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor and current treatments are largely based on cholesterol lowering. In spite of ...
