Peroxisomal and microsomal fatty acid oxidation in liver of rats after chronic ethanol consumption
(1998)
1. Microsomal P450 and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation activities were studied in liver of rats after long-term ethanol consumption. 2. Ethanol increased the microsomal lauric acid ω-hydroxylation and the aminopyrine ...
The Biology of the Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor System in the Female Reproductive Tract
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013-04)
Fuel sensors such as glucose, insulin or leptin, are known to be directly involved in the regulation of fertility at each level of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The discovery of the peroxisome proliferator-activated ...
The crystal structure of sterol carrier protein 2 from Yarrowia lipolytica and the evolutionary conservation of a large, non-specific lipid-binding cavity
(Springer, 2013-12)
Sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2), a small intracellular domain present in all forms of life, binds with high affinity a broad spectrum of lipids. Due to its involvement in the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids and ...
Dietary fish oilnormalized glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in isolated pancreatic islets of dyslipemic rats through mechanisms involving glucose phosphorylation ,peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and uncoupling protein2
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
This study evaluates some possible mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of dietary fish oil (FO) on β cell dysfunction in rats fed a sucrose-rich diet (SRD). Rats were fed a SRD for 6 months. Thereafter, half the rats ...
Oxidative stress in entomopathogenic fungi grown on insect-like hydrocarbons
(Springer, 2014-10)
Entomopathogenic fungi mostly attack their insect hosts by penetration through the cuticle. The outermost insect surface is covered by a lipid-rich layer, usually composed of very long chain hydrocarbons. These fungi are ...
