Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Crystal structure of the 500 kD yeast acetyl-CoA carboxylase holoenzyme dimer

Nature, 2015
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) has crucial roles in fatty acid metabolism and is an attractive target for drug discovery against diabetes, cancer and other diseases.

Modulating Lysine Crotonylation in Ulcerative Colitis Maintains Mitochondrial Homeostasis

Exploration, EarlyView.
NaCr promotes KCr to impede the inflammatory progression of ulcerative colitis. KCr induces mitophagy by activating the PINK1/PARKIN pathway to restrict NLRP3 inflammasome activation, thereby decreasing the production and release of various inflammatory cytokines, such as IL‐1β and TNF‐α. KCr induces mitophagy and inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Bonded Cumomer Analysis of Human Melanoma Metabolism Monitored by 13C NMR Spectroscopy of Perfused Tumor Cells. [PDF]

, 2015
A network model for the determination of tumor metabolic fluxes from (13)C NMR kinetic isotopomer data has been developed and validated with perfused human DB-1 melanoma cells carrying the BRAF V600E mutation, which promotes oxidative metabolism.

Overproduction of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Activity Increases the Rate of Fatty Acid Biosynthesis in Escherichia coli *

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the first committed step of the fatty acid synthetic pathway. Although ACC has often been proposed to be a major rate-controlling enzyme of this pathway, no direct tests of this proposal in vivo have been reported ...

Phloretin Suppresses Preadipocyte Differentiation by Targeting PPARγ/Transferrin to Activate Ferroptosis Signaling Pathway

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Phloretin alleviates HFD‐induced obesity and suppresses adipogenesis by activating the ferroptosis pathway, potentially via targeting PPARγ and transferrin. ABSTRACT Phloretin, a plant‐derived dihydrochalcone bioactive compound, potentially modulates preadipocyte differentiation, although this remains controversial and requires further clarification ...

Transcriptome analysis of Listeria monocytogenes exposed to biocide stress reveals a multi-system response involving cell wall synthesis, sugar uptake, and motility [PDF]

, 2014
peer-reviewedListeria monocytogenes is a virulent food-borne pathogen most often associated with the consumption of “ready-to-eat” foods. The organism is a common contaminant of food processing plants where it may persist for extended periods of time.

Maintenance of Carnitine Homeostasis as a Therapeutic Strategy to Attenuate Cisplatin‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute kidney injury (AKI) has emerged as a significant global public health concern due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Cisplatin, a highly effective and widely used chemotherapeutic agent, is often limited in clinical application by its nephrotoxicity, particularly AKI.

Inhibition of hepatic lipogenesis enhances liver tumorigenesis by increasing antioxidant defence and promoting cell survival

Nature Communications, 2017
The lipogenic pathway is often upregulated in liver tumours and regarded as a therapeutic target. Here, the authors show instead that blocking lipogenesis via knockout of acetyl-CoA carboxylase genes results in increased susceptibility to liver ...

Energy stress inhibits ferroptosis via AMPK

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2020
Energy stress disturbs cellular homeostasis and induces cell death. Our recent study revealed that ferroptosis (a non-apoptotic cell death) is an energy-requiring process, and energy stress-mediated activation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein
