AUTOTAXIN IS NUTRITIONALLY REGULATED AND ALTERS MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION IN OBESITY-INDUCED INSULIN RESISTANCE
(2019-08-28)The skeletal muscle is a major site of insulin stimulated glucose disposal. Skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity can be influenced by multiple circulating nutritional, hormonal, neuronal and bioactive factors, including ... -
Carvacrol possesses anti-bacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes and inflammation.
(2022-12-07)Streptococcal pharyngitis, caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, is a significant health issue worldwide. Beta-lactam antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are recommended for treatment and pain management. ... -
Loss of mitochondrial quality control protein Yme1 is deleterious to the viability of yeast lacking tafazzin.
(2016-01-19)The Saccharomyces cerevisiae TAZ1 gene is an orthologue of human TAZ; both encode the protein tafazzin. Tafazzin is a transacylase that transfers acyl chains with unsaturated fatty acids from other phospholipids to ... -
THE ROLE OF LIPID PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATASE 3 IN CARDIAC ENERGY METABOLISM
(2023-07-31)Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid that is generated by autotaxin (ATX) in circulation and is implicated in obesity induced cardiomyopathy. LPA signaling is terminated by lipid phosphate phosphatase 3 (LPP3) ... -
THE STUDY OF SEVERAL PROTEINS SYNTHESIZED AT VARIOUS STAGES OF CHICK DEVELOPMENT
(1974-07)A method was developed for the assay of very small quantities of radioactively-labelled peptide chains of human hemoglobin based upon the formation of complex with porcine haptoglobin, and subsequent precipitation of ...
