Oleoylethanolamide regulates intestinal stem cell activity and villus size via PPARα signaling pathway

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
First use of a natural swine model with lipid metabolism to directly link lipid differences to a quantifiable intestinal villus height phenotype. Identified the phospholipid‐derived oleoylethanolamide, rather than canonical fatty acids, as the endogenous primary ligand that activates peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors α (PPARα) to enlarge ...

Chemical Genetics of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylases [PDF]

, 2013
Chemical genetic studies on acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs), rate-limiting enzymes in long chain fatty acid biosynthesis, have greatly advanced the understanding of their biochemistry and molecular biology and promoted the use of ACCs as targets for ...

Non‐invasive and efficient diabetic retinal mitochondrial repair nanoplatform based on engineered endothelial mitochondrial‐derived vesicles with dynamic integrated stress response modulation

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Under hyperglycemic conditions, mitochondrial dysfunction in retinal endothelial cells triggers excessive reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species production, barrier protein degradation, and endothelial barrier breakdown in diabetic retinopathy.

Immunodepletion experiments suggest that acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 (ACAT-1) protein plays a major catalytic role in adult human liver, adrenal gland, macrophages, and kidney, but not in intestines

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
The first acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) cDNA cloned and expressed in 1993 is designated as ACAT-1. In various human tissue homogenates, ACAT-1 protein is effectively solubilized with retention of enzymatic activity by the detergent ...

Structural classification of biotin carboxyl carrier proteins [PDF]

, 2012
We gathered primary and tertiary structures of acyl-CoA carboxylases from public databases, and established that members of their biotin carboxylase (BC) and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) domains occur in one family each and that members of ...

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

A microfluorometric method for the determination of free fatty acids in plasma

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
A rapid and precise microfluorometric method for the determination of free fatty acid concentrations in 2-5 microliters of plasma is described. The assay is performed directly on plasma, eliminating the need for extraction with organic solvents, and is ...

Uncovering the Complexity of Synucleinopathies: An Ongoing Tale Between Proteins and Lipids

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are pathological states characterized by progressive alterations in brain homeostasis during aging. Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, are defined neuropathologically by the accumulation of inclusions known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Characterization of Genes Involved in the Formation of Aroma Volatiles in "Charentais" Melon Fruit [PDF]

, 2004
Volatiles esters impart distinct characteristics to the fruit quality. "Charentais" cantaloupe melon (Cucumis melo "cantalupensis") is characterized by abundant sweetness and aromatic flavour.

Physiological Role of Acyl Coenzyme A Synthetase Homologs in Lipid Metabolism in Neurospora crassa

Eukaryotic Cell, 2013
Acyl coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase (ACS) enzymes catalyze the activation of free fatty acids (FAs) to CoA esters by a two-step thioesterification reaction. Activated FAs participate in a variety of anabolic and catabolic lipid metabolic pathways, including
