New insights on the role of lipid metabolism in the metabolic reprogramming of macrophages
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Macrophage activation is intimately linked to metabolic reprogramming. Inflammatory (M1) macrophages are able to sustain inflammatory responses and to kill pathogens, mostly by relying on aerobic glycolysis and fatty acid ...
Energy metabolism and thermoregulation in Chinchilla brevicaudata
(Elsevier Ltd, 2003)
Chinchilla brevicaudata lives at 3500-5000 m, with high ambient temperatures during the day but cold at night. In this Andean habitat there is also low availability of food and water resources. Physiological attributes ...
Low metabolic rates in primitive hunters and weaver spiders
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
The rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release of primitive
hunters and weaver spiders, the Chilean Recluse spider Loxosceles laeta Nicolet
(Araneae: Sicariidae) and the Chilean Tiger spider Scytodes globula ...
Cholesterol, glucose and triglycerides role in the prevalence of hyperlipemia in dogs at higher elevations
(2011)
Hyperlipidemia is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by a fat concentration increase in blood serum and it is known to be common in dogs. However, there is no information about how this disorder behaves in different ...
Metabolic cost of osmoregulation in a hypertonic environment in the invasive African clawed frog Xenopus laevis
(Company of Biologists Ltd., 2016)
Studies of aquatic invertebrates reveal that salinity affects feeding and growth rates, reproduction, survival, and diversity. Little is known, however, about how salinity impacts the energy budget of vertebrates and ...
Intraspecific differences in metabolic rate of Chroeomys olivaceus (Rodentia: Muridae): the effect of thermal acclimation in arid and mesic habitats
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2005)
Studies of metabolic capacities in rodents have been largely studied at an inter-specific levels, but physiological capacities of populations belonging to the same species have received lesser attention. Here we studied ...
Engineering CHO cells galactose metabolism to reduce lactate synthesis
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Objective: Over-express galactokinase (Galk1) in tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) producing CHO cells as a potential strategy to improve cell growth and product synthesis. Results: tPA producing CHO cells were transfected ...
Metabolic modelling and flux analysis of microorganisms from the Atacama Desert used in biotechnological processes
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)
Metabolic modelling is a useful tool that enables the rational design of metabolic engineering experiments and the study of the unique capabilities of biotechnologically important microorganisms. The extreme abiotic ...
Metabolism of acetaldehyde by rat isolated aortic rings: Does endothelial tissue contribute to its extrahepatic metabolism?
(1993)
Acetaldehyde (AcH) metabolism in isolated aortic rings was studied by assessing in vitro-added AcH disappearing rate by head space gas chromatography. It was found that AcH was metabolized by aortic rings or by homogenates ...
Determinants of anti-cancer effect of mitochondrial electron transport chain inhibitors: Bioenergetic profile and metabolic flexibility of cancer cells
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2016)
© 2016 Bentham Science Publishers. Recent evidence highlights that energy requirements of cancer cells vary greatly from normal cells and they exhibit different metabolic phenotypes with variable participation of both ...
