Glucosamine-P and rhodococcal ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylases: A hint to (re)discover (actino)bacterial amino sugar metabolism
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2020-09)
Glycogen was described as a temporal storage molecule in rhodococci, interconnecting lipids and carbon availability. The Rhodococcus jostii ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADP-GlcPPase) kinetic and regulatory properties ...
Triacylglycerol synthesis directed by glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases −3 and −4 is required for lipid droplet formation and the modulation of the inflammatory response during macrophage to foam cell transition
(Elsevier Ireland, 2021-01)
Background and aims: The transition of macrophage to foam cells is a major hallmark of early stage atherosclerotic lesions. This process is characterized by the accumulation of large cytoplasmic lipid droplets containing ...
The influence of larval density on triacylglycerol content in Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae)
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2021-02)
Given the importance of Aedes aegypti as an arbovirus vector, understanding the impact of population density during larval development is fundamental to improve control methods. The aims of this study were to analyze the ...
Crosstalk between sterol and neutral lipid metabolism in the alga Haematococcus pluvialis exposed to light stress
(Elsevier Science, 2020-10)
The presence, biosynthesis and functional role of sterols in the green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis remain poorly understood. In this work we studied the effect of high-light (HL) stress on sterol synthesis in H. ...
Increasing lipid production using an NADP+-dependent malic enzyme from Rhodococcus jostii
(Society for General Microbiology, 2019-01)
The occurrence of NADP+ -dependent malic enzymes (NADP+ -MEs) in several Rhodococcus strains was analysed. The NADP+ - ME number in Rhodococcus genomes seemed to be a strain-dependent property. Total NADP+ -ME activity ...
Ces1d deficiency protects against high-sucrose diet-induced hepatic triacylglycerol accumulation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019-04)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease. Triacylglycerol accumulation in the liver is a hallmark of NAFLD. Metabolic studies have confirmed that increased hepatic de novo lipogenesis ...
A descriptive study of the occurrence and significance of lipids in Taenia hydatigena eggs
(Elsevier Science, 2010-04)
The aim of this work was to investigate the lipid content of Taenia hydatigena eggs and to evaluate the role of lipids in the maintenance of embryo viability. The total lipid content of the egg was 4.5% (w/w). Five classes ...
Relationship between semen quality and seminal plasma cholesterol, triacylglycerols and proteins in the domestic cat
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate the relationship between specific seminal plasma components – cholesterol (CHOL), triacylglycerols (TAG) and total protein (PROT) concentrations – and semen quality in cats. ...
